Well hopefully the new forum will be working and I won't have too many bugs to deal with. Which would mean I will finally have the time to work on the Forum Dll. Ultimately the Dev Forum is my favorite, and if I were to not administrate this forum , I would try to remain the owner of this room ...
When we started this Dll forum, I did not even know what the dev kit looked like. Now we have a few working functions that we would not have dreamed of. For next year I would like to create a dev team so that more people than ... well ... Me and Wabbit ... :P could start working on a bigger scale project ... I have some ideas already ;)
If you are interrested please send me an email at forumadmin@equis.com and let me know.
Patrick :)

Hi Patrick,
I recently bought the Dev kit myself last month and I have been creating small functions which are going to be part of a much larger project. My ultimate goal (one which could take a year to complete) is to create a master computerised trading expert, which picks stock using a multitude of different successfully tested trading strategies, leaving me with the simple task of doing the admin of buying and selling.
I wanted to get a team together in London, England to get things moving but haven't been able to find many C++ programmers who are both investors and metastock users.
I would be delighted to get involved in any way. I must admit after viewing a lot of posts in this section I think you're brilliant for the work you do in your own free time! When I finish work today I'll send you a more detailed email of the work I've done so far. To summarise I have created:
- Zigzag function which uses both high and low data arrays instead of one data array (this is primarily used for the trendline and resistance & support lines I'm building)
- Trough and Peak functions using the Zigzag function above
- Long term trend line function (I am still in the process of perfecting this but it works much better than the trend line that comes pre-installed with metastock)
This zigzag function also has the potential to be used in the system tester. There is a parameter in the function which potentially solves the problem of "seeing into the future". I'll send more in the email.
Anyway, I use metastock 9.0 and I use C++ as my programming language. What language do you use to program in?
Speak soon
Craig :)

Thanks for you reply Nobel :D
I will be waiting for your email ...
For now I have only been working with C++ so ultimately that would be my preference.
G get use to my avatar because it is staying, and be carefull with your comments on the forum :evil:

Hi Patrick
I've made quite a bit of progress on the trend line. :D The lines are now much more accurate (although still tweaking), it produces multiple lines (level 0 = very long term, level 7 = very short term) and can also be used for trend breakout strategies.
I'm about a week away (possibly two at most) from finishing this function. Once released it would be good to get as much feedback and user participation as possible. The more feedback that is received, the better the line will be.
There is a slight issue of performance. :x I have enhanced the performance in a number of ways since we last spoke but I have added a lot of procedures which have made it slow again. On my PC (3.2GHz P4) there is a one/two second delay before function is drawn. For the next version of the trendline, I have some ideas about how to speed up the code as there are a lot of calcs that are being done repeatedly uncessesarily.
As an aside, in the process of creating this function I have created a routine to get around the 9 external parameter limitation. By putting your parameters into a string and feeding it through my ParamConv() routine it is possible to have an unlimited number of parameters in your dll.
Have you had any more thoughts on the resistance/support lines? I would like to help and move on to this once I've finished all the tasks for the trendline.
Cheers
Nobel :)
