Hi,
I picked up John Ehler's "Rocket Science for Traders" and found some neat indicator code in the book. However, It's in EasyLanguage, which is native TradeStation code - I think. Does Meta Stock support it? If not, is it readily translatable? Also, I remeber that MetaStock routines have a character limit of 2500 characters. Some of the EasyLanguage routines are rather long. Is there a work-around for this limit?

Hey Garp-
You might try a search of the net for existing John Ehlers formulas in Metastock before trying to reinvent the wheel. There are many samples available. Try guppytraders, trader.online.pl, even Equis and the forum here. You might try searching for the particular formula by name.
TradeStation code will need to be converted to be MS compatible.

If there is a limit (I'm not sure) the work around would be to break the formula up into multiple formulas. You'd just have one call the others in order and as needed.
Another work around (If you know a programming language) would be to write it in an MSX DLL using the MetaStock Developer's Kit.
It would be faster and have little limitation (just what the langauge you choose to do the DLL in imposes).
I'd suggest you do what g_stockman said and take a look around. There is a good chance someone did the work for you already
