denl Can you post the formula you have downloaded? I have all the 3 books published by Dr.Ehlers and I can take a look. Unfortunately all the equations are coded for TradeStation, but I do have their MS vesion from "TheDML". I hope to be able to identify which version you are trying to use (there are 3 ITrend versions: from "Rocket Science...", another one from "Cybernetics..." and the last one from "MESA..."). Regards Guara

Hi again Guara, I have two of his books, though I don't understand a lot of it. I emailed John to see if he had his formulas available in Metastock format but he said he did not. I would appreciate it if you would be happy to share yours with me. If not that's ok too Regards Denis

hey denl.... that dta reference is coming from an orignal posting which included the dta file for ease of importation into metastock.... you should not need it.... the source you have, has taken the codes out of the orignal dta that was supposedly downloaded and placed those codes in the copy and paste style you are now looking at.... the thought being you must now place them in your meta by using the indicator builder..... thats common practice with sites like purebytes, bertiginaluca, metaformula and several others.... by doing that, once the dta file is no longer available the codes it contained will still be..... the dta file is far simplier, but as henry pointed out a good while back cut and paste might be safer..... no chance of over-writing same name indicators.... btw, if you notice the smiley faces in your codes, its from the emoticons... you can disable them in the post option section......h

**** Reposted for denl **** Instantaneous Trendline and Sinewave Indicator by John Ehlers Here is the MetaStock 6.52 or higher formula code for the Instantaneous Trendline and Sinewave Indicator as described by John Ehlers in his article “At Last! A Trend-Friendly Oscillator”. To implement them the following formulas must be created in MetaStock’s Indicator Builder. Each formula must be created separately and must be named exactly as it appears below. Only the last two formulas are plotted, so you may wish to prevent the others from being displayed in the Indicator QuickList by unchecking the “Display In QuickList” option when creating the formula. To download and install the formulas use the following steps Download the MS65FORM.DTA file into a temp folder To Download the file for this formula click MS65FORM.DTA Use the following instructions to Import the MS65FORM.DTA file from the temp file it was downloaded to. 1. Run MetaStock. 2. Choose Indicator Builder from the Tools menu. 3. Click the Organize button to launch the Formula Organizer Wizard. 4. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Thank you guara and stockman. How do I do code wrapping? Also I downloaded the free trial too...this could be the best way out.... Denis

Any part of your post that is a formula start it with the metatag 'code' and end with '/code'. You could also just highlight the formula and press the button that says Code.
