Dear Henry1224, I will not make a comment in your Formula. I have an Idea basic in something. This is, if exist a chance to calculate someone, result of a Formula/s, BETWEEN Dates especially in the past using Metastock Formula Language. So, i want to please you to see in the Forum: Indicators the Topic NEED DATE CODE HELP and to write your opinion, if you have, about it. I quite believe that for the Date Periods, need Metastock DATE CODE and especially BETWEEN CODE(If exist). Kind Regards, George Kanellopoulos.

Hello Wabbit. I have not that Function because i have not download the Forum.dll into my PC. The basic reason is that i do not want to have problems with my Software, i mean especially, between Forum.dll and Metastock 9.1 Pro for E-Signal that i have. If something glued into my PC, my Computer Technician is a little away from me and i will need several days to be without Metastock, for to fix my Problem into my PC! For that reason do you have the Original Formula/s for to write here in this Topic, for to study on it/them? George Kanellopoulos.

Download the stable release of the forum.dll file...... leave the Beta version alone for the mean time. If, for some unknown reason your MS crashes with the forum.dll file in memory, just shutdown MS (if it hasnt crashed already, delete the Forum.dll file from the foldr and restart MS. There are no lingering after effects. Nothing else in yuor computer will change for having this file loaded. wabbit :D

With the forum function, this: [code:1:e464a30e7f]fmDate:=Input("Start ddmmyy (0=first trade)",0,311299,0); fmDay:=If(fmDate=0,ValueWhen(1,Cum(1)=1,DayOfMonth()),Int(fmDate/10000+.5)); fmMonth:=If(fmDate=0,ValueWhen(1,Cum(1)=1,Month()),Int((fmDate-fmDay*10000)/100+.5)); fmYear:=If(fmDate=0,ValueWhen(1,Cum(1)=1,Year()),Int(fmDate-Int(fmDate/100+.5)*100+.5)); fmYear:=If(fmYear<100,If(fmYear<40,fmYear+2000,fmYear+1900),fmYear); toDate:=Input("End ddmmyy (0=last trade)",0,311299,0); toDay:=If(toDate=0,LastValue(DayOfMonth()),Int(toDate/10000+.5)); toMonth:=If(toDate=0,LastValue(Month()),Int((toDate-toDay*10000)/100+.5)); toYear:=If(toDate=0,LastValue(Year()),Int(toDate-Int(toDate/100+.5)*100+.5)); toYear:=If(toYear<100,If(toYear<40,toYear+2000,toYear+1900),toYear); betweenDates:=((DayOfMonth()>=fmDay AND Month()=fmMonth AND Year()=fmYear) OR (Month()>fmMonth AND Year()=fmYear) OR Year()>fmYear) AND ((DayOfMonth()<=toDay AND Month()=toMonth AND Year()=toYear) OR (Month()<toMonth AND Year()=toYear) OR Year()<toYear);[/code:1:e464a30e7f] can be written as : [code:1:e464a30e7f]fmDate:=Input("Start yyyymmdd (0=last trade)",0,20201231,20060101); toDate:=Input("End yyyymmdd (0=last trade)",0,20201231,0); ExtFml("ForumDll.DateRange", fmDate, toDate);[/code:1:e464a30e7f] Simple. No? wabbit :D

I see the Date Formula. Need some time to understand it... I wonder for something. How will work the Formula/s that Need based in the Example that make in the Forum: Indicators the Topic NEED DATE CODE HELP with that Formula that you was write here?? George Kanellopoulos.

Wabbit, No, i think that you have not understand well. The Problem that exist in the other Topic is: Do you believe that exist Date Formula which can make the following thing: When a Formula occurs in any Day, for example the Formula: Fml("Max DLRL Delta 20"), then from the Day that was born the above Formula until exactly after 3 Months (For Example), to be True or False the following Metastock Formula: (HHV(H, 20)-L)*100/HHV(H, 20) > 15 For example, suppose that the Fml("Max DLRL Delta 20"), occur exactly the 31/10/2005, then, when exist, the (HHV(H, 20)-L)*100/HHV(H, 20) > 15, from 31/10/2005 until exactly 31/01/2006 to be True or otherwise False, so, to receive Price 1 for the True and 0 for the False. Do you believe that can exist a Formula like that? Kind Regards, George Kanellopoulos.

Yes it is possible. It is very complicated in the MSFL to program this, and I really wonder whether it would be worth the time?? On the bar that Fml("Max DLRL Delta 20") was true: you need to get the DayOfMonth(), Month() and Year(). This bit is easy. Then, you need to add three months to the Month(). Don't forget to subtract 12 if Month() >9 and add one to the Year() as required. You also need to check that the date you have created is a valid date i.e. not 31st February or something similar. You will also have to trap the error that will occur if the new date is beyond the right edge of the chart. Anyway.... that should give you enough information to start. Let us all know how you go. wabbit :D

Wabbit, Does your ext fml "between dates" give a cum value? IE: (barssince date a - barssince date b) > (BarsSince Date b - barsSince date C) can it be used more than once in a formula? Henry

I wonder if there are compatability issues with other dll's ?

Wabbit, I am in a bit... bad condition this Hour because of this Formula... I have not sleep and the Time here in this Mad Country named Greece, is 04:45 in the Morning and the Time pass so fast! I decide to listen some Music in my Ears right now, Yanni, and to eat a little Chocolate for to relax for a little! I do not believe that can, alone to create that Formula because of the Metastock Day Expressions that need for that. The problem is in Metastock Manual i think. Have a very little Metastock Formula with Day Examples! So, it is not possible to me to write maybe so complicated Code! But the positive is that, as you said exist Solution. That Formula can exist! Exist and another maybe problem, the Stock Splits! Stock Splits change the Price of the Stock into Metastock. Kind Regards, George Kanellopoulos.
