infy, Welcome to the Forum. I hope you find the information in this peer-to-peer support network useful. You have the PowerPivots+ addin to use the codes posted above. If you don't have the addin then these codes will fail with the error message you have already seen. If you did purchase the PP+ addin, then it has not installed correctly. The PP+ addin (a file named PowerPivots.dll) MUST be located in the proper folder for MetaStock to find it, that folder is ...\\MetaStock\\External Function DLLs Hope this helps. wabbit :D

infy, Have you read through the MS Users Manual? There is a wealth of knowledge in there that will get you using your charts with line studies, templates and experts, writing your own indicators and explorations in no-time. Once you have read the manual (I recommend twice) and are familiar with the basic use of MetaStock charting, then download the free Equis Formula Primer (available from the downloads section) and work your way through that. This will give you an excellent base from which to start writing your own codes. There are a lot of people here who are willing to ASSIST you to write your code and to use MetaStock, but you are going to have to at least make an attempt first. If your code does not achieve your aim, then post it here so we can take a look and help you repair what needs repairing. When posting your code, please post a FULL description of what you are trying to achieve, and a FULL description of the problem/error, along with ALL of the relevant code, and I am sure someone will be able to help you out. If you do not want to learn to program and would rather the Forum Members do all the work for you for free, this will will not happen. You will be encouraged to seek the services of a professional programmer, many members here can provide these services. If you get stuck, post your best attempts with as much detail of the the problems as you can possibly provide and I am sure someone here will quickly assist you. wabbit :D

infy, The Forum Rules can be found here: http://forum.equis.com/viewtopic.php?t=2 They are pretty simple; treat everyone nicely, be polite and try to help when you can. As for the fact that you don't have a copy of the MS Users Manual, this is a concern because this useful publication is shipped with every legitimate copy of MetaStock. Where did you get your copy? You might be interested to read the following: http://forum.equis.com/viewtopic.php?t=4220 and http://forum.equis.com/viewtopic.php?t=4204 Let us know from where you purchased your copy of MS and collectively we shall see if anything can be done to help you. I suspect there is not much to be done, but we shall see? wabbit :D

...but i do have a legitimate data provider who i pay an annual maintenance cost (AMC). he has provided me with an MS copy which i m using.
