please take pity on us the lowly social rejects... trading is a lonely existence; other than the bank statements, these are the only positive feedback we get in our disfranchised life.

I have ran across a few of these: smart and accomplished professionals (MD, lawyers, etc.,) thinking they can "conquer" the market in a couple of months... engineers seem to have better odds, but still takes a lot longer than a few months. .

In the future, don't worry about the time. The easiest for everybody is to label the bars with numbers... then everybody will be on the same page.

If you can read what I am reading, I would reconsider.

people can give you relevant feedback if you add notes to describe why you are doing what under which circumstance (context)... otherwise it will just be a hit-or-miss circle game.

can you post the code of your jtHMA ? there are different versions floating around on the web. I don't know which one you are using.

I don't understand what do you need.

curve fitting uses optimization. not all optimizations are curve fitting. there is a difference. .

did you copy the whole thing in post #6? can you draw a mock up to illustrate how you want it plot?

try this: If PlotSlow=True and Displace >= 0 or CurrentBar > AbsValue( Displace ) then begin If (Value2[2]<=Value2[1] and Value2>=Value2[1] ) or (Value2[2]>Value2[1] and (Value2 < Value2[1])) then Plot7(High+Offset,"Dn") else NoPlot(6);

. If PlotSlow=True and Displace >= 0 or CurrentBar > AbsValue( Displace ) then begin If Value2[2]<=Value2[1] and Value2>=Value2[1] then Plot6(Low-Offset,"Up") {<--- this plots below} else if Value2[2]>Value2[1] and (Value2 < Value2[1]) then Plot7(High+Offset,"Dn") {<--- this plots above} else NoPlot(6); .

There is no MC manual, so it cannot be "suck". The TS manual are excellent. They are used by thousands of traders around the World. I learned from the same manuals; I don't think they would make an exception to you. Unless you are using a pirated copy of TS, or old TS code, 99% of the code should be compatible. (With old TS code, even the current TS is not compatible.) For advanced programming, may I suggest... Building Winning Trading Systems with TradeStation by George Pruitt & John R.

MultiCharts v5.0 Gold the following features have been added to the MultiCharts 5.5 Beta

I have both TS and MC. TS uses only one CPU core in its operation, even if you have a multicore computer. while MC utilizes all available CPUs. here's a screen shot of the Task Manager during one of my MultiCharts backtest. you can see all the CPUs are at max'ed !

swiftly should be emphasized. ;-)>

the following can be interpreted multiple ways: If PlotSlow=True and Displace >= 0 or CurrentBar > AbsValue( Displace ) then suggestion: use brackets to isolate multiple/complex Boolean logics. .

those codes are for educational purpose only. they do not have to be in separate files; they are in separate strategies so that you can understand the operations one by one.

Exit Strategies by CHUCK LEBEAU a good man sent this to me. what do you think? can you use any of his points? 20050225165005LeBeau.pdf

Text manipulation keywords: DoubleQuote NewLine Spaces InStr StrLen LeftStr MidStr RightStr NumToStr StrToNum Text LowerStr UpperStr

RightStr Returns one or more rightmost characters from the specified string expression. Usage RightStr( String, sSize ) Where: String - a string expression from which the characters are to be taken sSize - a numerical expression specifying the number of characters to be returned Example RightStr( "Hello World" , 5 ); will return a string expression "World"

First, you have to convert the number to a string. (use either Text or NumToStr). Then, extract the right portion of the string using RightStr. .

can you post a diagram to illustrate your description? TIA
