From the writer of “Transferring Metastock to new computer” post I have an excellent idea for a development for Metastock and I it would be great to get some feed back to see if anyone else out there agrees with me. Do you have to a trading system, do you have to manually change parameters or variables for each security you want to trade, found the input function isn’t the answer? That my world, a trading system, 3 variables, 8 formulas and mind numbing 24 changes per security. Imagine a world where you open your Metastock, click into one box where all these change can be made from one location, but apply to all the formulas in your trading system. Have I sold this idea? My story; I have programmed a trading system for LONG and SHORT trading which adds up to 2 custom indictors and 6 expert advisors. Why so many? It breaks down like this, for long trading: one custom Indicator for setup signals then Expert Advisors for Entry, Exit and Stop; the same number again for short trading. The important point here is I have 8 separate formulas. The problem is when wanting to trade I have to manually set 3 parameters (variables) within each formula for each security, that’s 8 multiplied by 3 making 24 changes. There has to be an easier way to do this? What if from one location I open one box that allows me to make the change from that box which then would apply to all 8 formulas. This would be some kind of editor which I could tag specific lines of code from select formulas in my trading system held in an Expert advisor, Explorer or on the Custom Indicator List. The possibilities for this idea are vast and should be a must do for Equis. If you’ve got this far in reading this why not leave me a comment and tell me what you think Gregor
