Cash, Thanks. I see a few there, I might bid. Let me ask you another question. (Before I bid actually)
I have MetaStock 7 now, but I ran into a brick wall when I discovered that I can not input variable parameters to most of the given functions for time periods. For example say you want to conduct a moving average of the price over X time periods. In MS, X must be an integer constant. If I am developing a trading system that conditionally varies X, MS won't let you do that. I have the option of ordering the MS Developers Kit which I was considering, but I am concerned if I do that, then I've just spent close to 550 for MS, when I could possibly own Trade Station for a bit more. I am fairly certain that the power of TradeStation exceeds MS, but I would like to know for sure that I can perform moving averages, and other functions like stochastics with varying input paramters for the time periods. Do you know if this is possible, or if not, would you perhaps mind whipping up a quick test case to see if you can vary the time periods of a simple moving averag of the price by some other function? Maybe if TS has an ease of movement function it would go something like this:
{where C is price}
eom := Emv(C,12);
Mov(C,eom,S) {s is simple moving average}
I would be very gratefull to discover if TradeStation is the solution I am looking for, or do I need to whip out my c++ chops in MetaStock.
Thanks and Regards,
Robert
