Hi Raymond,

Welcome to the forum.

The first place to start learning about MS formula codes is the MS Users Manual. Have a read of it a couple of times because it contains too much information to be fully absorbed on only one reading. In there you will find the rules and syntax for writing codes with some friendly reminders about how not to achieve certain things, and some examples of how to recreate some of the inbuilt indicators in your own code.

From there, the next step would be to do all the exercises in the free Equis Formula Primer, available for download from the Files section. This teaches more of the basics on which everything else relies.

You also have all of the indicators that come pre-loaded in MS. Some of these are proprietary and are password protected, but most of them are not. You can use these codes as more examples for writing indicators, system tests, explorations and experts.

Like always, if you get stuck, help is available here on the Forum. Just post your best attempt at the code along with a full explanation of what you are trying to achieve and an explanation why your code is not achieving this and one of the Forum members will give some of their time to help you.


Hope this helps.

wabbit [:D]
