Hello,
Amibroker Provides looping structure in its formula
language....I am in no way connected with amibroker or <A
href="">WWW.Amibroker.com, ...but have switched
from Metastock to Amibroker ...because I found Metastock limited....also,
there customer support is non-existent....

Subject: [EquisMetaStock Group] Are there
loop functions in Metastock?
Not sure how much any of you are into programmingbut
I'm hoping you can answer this question or point me in the rightdirection
where I can get assistance.I have done a lot of computer programming
and am familiar with quite a few languages and have been delving into the
Metastock Language. Maybe I'm missing the obvious but I don't seem
to be able to find any loop functions.In all other languages I've been
involved with you have a least a fewdifferent types of loops.I
have found the "ref" function that allow you to reference a period prior
to the current one (say 1 day ago, or 10 days ago) but I'm after
loopfunctions.For example if I want to write a function that
accepts dynamic input from the user and go through data for the past 10
days I want to write a loop that traverse the data backwards one day at a
time and performs calculationson that data.So in English the
function would do the following:Prompt user for number of days to
traverse.User inputs the number 10 and this is assigned to a variable
"num_days".Define a variable "counter" and initialise it to 1.while
"counter" <= "num_days" do the following: get price data
for day that is "counter" number of days prior to today.
do whatever you want with this data .. bla bla bla "counter"
gets incremented by 1 and go back up to "while" statementend of
loopSo, the above code would traverse through the data for the number
of days the user has entered and then exit when the loop test
fails.If you are into programming a little you'll know what I mean and
if not then I hope I've explained things well enough.Is there
another plug-in that enables these types of features or do they have to be
done outside of Metstock via dll's or do I need to get an add-on program
or have I just missed how this is done altogether.Thanks in
advanceCC
