Hello again Metastock Users,

A two small question.

1) If I do have a external .DLL call like this one>

ExtFml("Pivots")=3;

It doesn´t work at all in explorer, not as a filter nor as a column either,
is this common issue for meta that .DLL functions cannot be called
for explorer, but it seems to work on system tester ?

2)

Question about System Tester, even using even very simple formula as
lmacd ong&short signals, why do I receive only "cancelled - open cost"
results?

The system does not buy or sell anything at all ever, even signal
occures hundreds of time during year period. Metastock help didn´t
recognice this "cancelled - open cost" word, where does it stands for ?

This is something which is very confusing for me, even systemtester
explores all SP500 stocks using any formula I am end up with the same
cancelled-open costs message.

Orders type is market, entry size default, no stoploss either - so should
execute several orders.

Considered Buy 100 Market


Signal 13 11.4.2006 1 Placed Buy 100 Market


Signal 14 12.4.2006 1 Cancelled - Open cost Buy 100 Market
Thankx in Advance,

-D

daiwa,

Check the MS Users Manual for the correct syntax for the ExtFML() command.

I can tell you, "ExtFml("Pivots")=3;" is not correct.
