most experts likely are written with much thought and consideration in coding..... as should be for anything used often..... but you could in less than 1 minute write say, a disposable expert..... something simple, maybe you just need to know when 'intc' closes above 22.35, "c>22.35", but you also need to wash the dishes.... just write a quickie expert and attach a daffy duck wav file alert ..... turn up the volume and you can hear it go off in the kitchen..... now you have no excuse..... need to mow the yard, just tell the kids to come get you when daffy hollers..... if you need some wav files, check under the metastock tab at hayseedville, alert wav's........ so get that paint brush and start multi-tasking, meta will holler when it needs you.........h
