Hey Konrad you can' learn it all at the same time, you can't lear to be a trader, a Network Engineer, a web designer and a programmer at the same time. You will get to learn everything if you want but you need to focus on one or the other ;) I suggest you keep with learning how to trade and use metastock and on the side learn how to use html and CSS to create your website ... I have been working with computers for a very long time, I fixed PC's in a little Computer shop 10 years ago .... 10 years and I am not even one of these ( trader, a Network Engineer, a web designer or a programmer ) ... Take your time :D Patrick :mrgreen:

Hi Konrad, If you would like to convert your Formula Language functions to MSX DLLs, you can do it, but I'll warn you that it is a very daunting task for someone that is not already a programmer. (As a matter of fact, it is a daunting task for some programmers, too.) Most people that aren't programmers just find a programmer that is willing to do it for them, and usually there is some sort of compensation involved. If you want to give it a shot, though, here's what you need to do: 1. Purchase a development tool like PowerBasic, Visual C++, Borland C++, or Delphi, to name a few. I'd recommend Visual C++ 6.0 if you can find it at a price you like. 2. Learn to use the development tool you purchased. This will probably require a good book. Find a highly recommended one on Amazon or ask people you know that are developers. I asked a couple of guys here, and they liked "C++, How to Program" by Deitel and Deitel. It might even come with an introductory version of Visual C++. 3. Purchase the MetaStock Developer's Kit 4. Dig in and ask questions when you run into problems. Good Luck, Rich

Konrad, I really wouldn't try to dig in to this yourself. You do need to be a programmer to make an MSX DLL. In fact, I'd say you really need to be a good programmer. MSX DLLs use advanced programming concepts that will be very difficult for you to pick up by yourself. I strongly suggest you find someone to do this for you instead of trying to do it yourself, especially if price is not a problem. :wink: -Rich

You'll need to contact the Sales department at Equis to get pricing information for the MDK. You can call them at 1-800-882-3040 or email sales@equis.com. At Equis, for developing an MSX DLL, we would use C++. You would either want Visual C++ 6.0 (because that is compatible with and supported by the MDK) or a later version of Visual C++ such as Visual C++ .net 2005 or 2003. These later versions are not supported by the MDK, but they are compatible. -Rich

Konrad, You may also want to take a look at Microsft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition. It is free and would let you take a look at giving programming a try. For more information, go to http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/ You could buy MDK and give it a try if you feel comfortable with programming or see if you can find another developer to write what you want. Our support is unable to assit you in learning to program, but you can use this forum and do searches on the web for C++ samples or pick up a C++ book. Good luck and enjoy!
