I'd Like to obtain Tom DeMarks Sequential trading system in a MetaStock Expert format. Anyone know where I could start the search? Or can it be purchased from the Equis formula script writers? MS Support was kind enough to provide some basic formulas but I'm not able to make it into a running program. :?:

Hi Charlie, I don't know if Equis support gave you these formulas but here is how you should write your system or expert For the Buy signal I would use : Bsetup:=Sum(C<Ref(C,-4),9)=9; BCD:=HighestSince(1,Peak(1,Bsetup,.001),(C<Ref(L,-2)) + PREV); BUY:=BCD-ValueWhen(1,Bsetup,BCD)=13 AND Ref(BCD-ValueWhen(1,Bsetup,BCD)=13,-1)<>1; BUY For the sell signal I would use : Ssetup:=Sum(C>Ref(C,-4),9)=9; SCD:=HighestSince(1,Peak(1,Ssetup,.001),(C>Ref(H,-2)) + PREV); SELL:=SCD-ValueWhen(1,Ssetup,SCD)=13 AND Ref(SCD-ValueWhen(1,Ssetup,SCD)=13,-1)<>1; SELL If any of you have a better way of doing it, please do not hesitate to post your version of Demark's sequential. As I have actually seen different version of this ... Hope this helps :P

You have completed one part of the De Mark sequential . You have worked out the buy setup. However once this has been completed there is a countdown setup of 13 bars. Once this setup is completed the buy setup is completed and then there is still the enrty setup aswell. This is according to his book.

Unfortunately to recreate the TD SSequential properly and accurately we would have to program it as a dll ... Patrick :mrgreen:

Yes it is pretty complex ... if I remember properly, the problem with the 13 countdown is that they do not have to be successive so you need some sort of loop to keep the count and do a proper reset ... I have not looked at it in quite some times now ... Patrick :mrgreen:

Patrick you are right there, for the first buy signal there must be 9 succesive lower lows and also lower than 4 days earlier. However for the 13 bar countdown thelow of today must be lower than 2 days ago . I can show this nicely with some sketches. Myabe I must scan them and then post them on the forum. Lets hope that Henry can maybe help us

No Henry cannot help you with this! Years ago I helped code this expert, but it contained forward Ref functions so it would plot on a chart but usually 9 bars late

hi Henry, I have just installed the Demark Sequential System, and it seems that there are some Syntax errors from your file. Or if it is just me......?! (I am not so familiar with Metastock) I am just wondering if you can post another file, so we could use the Demark Sequential System. Thank for a million. Happy Trading!! Regards, Packer

Hi Henry, I saved the files to the Metastock Expert folder. Once in Metastock , I could not locate the expert in "The Expert" section. Henry a further question. A couple of pages up CRWINNR5 provided a link http://guppytraders.com/...stock%20formula%2023.htm for a TD Sequential Expert. I copied and pastyed this into Metastock Expert. If attach the expert to a graph, it does not attach the numbers etc to the bars. Have I missed out something.

I think that on those links you have to set up specific indicators using the indicator builder so the expert can use the custom formulas. Been a while since I have been to those links but I think instructions are there. Charley

Hi Charley, so what you are saying is that I should ceate a new indicator in Metastock. I copy the formula as per Guppytrader website and paste it in the new indicator window. At the end of the day I am looking for an indicator that will show me the Buysetup and then the Countdown with the three different entry levels Thanks for your input sofar. Eckbert

Yes, there should be "Buy" indicators and "Sell" indicators which are custom formulas with the names listed on the web site. When these have been entered the Expert should function.

It is probably just not allowing you to post that type of file. Why don't you rename the extension .[censored] - and in your post tell everyone to rename it to .exe or whatever. Then you should be able to upload it just fine. :) M
