Richard or someone else with a developer's kit:
Is there a way using the developer's kit, to clear the value of an indicator when the price goes away from the level of the indicator. Let me clarify, in MS if you set an indicator that has direct relation to the price like certain levels e.g. a formula that draws a line at the H,L,C of yesterday, if the price is way away from those levels, e.g. it gaps up $2 today, then the chart is squashed since MS tries to show all data including the indicator's. I wanted to create a formula that shows the line only when it is within 10c of the price, this way MS adjust to the price rather than all the indicator on that pane. In other words, the program would have to reset the variable and recalculate when the price comes into range.
Is this possible?

Thanks Richard,
This is what I expected. I'm surprised that MetaStock developers
have not improved the way parameters are optimized at this late date.
Since the advent of low priced computing, the field of Operations
Research has produced many algorythms to speed up the process of
finding global optimum solutions. Single stepping through all
possible combinations is low tech, at best!

p.s. My remarks refer to experience with MS 7.22.

Subject: Import Excel Stock List into Metastock
I use the ICE Program to scan for stocks. I then cut and paste the
symbols from ICE to excel. Is there a way to import the symbol list
from Excel into a Metastock File?

Subject: Re: Import Excel Stock List into Metastock
The list must take one of two forms –
a list of just tickers
AAPL
PEP
MSFT
or a list of in the form company name, ticker
Apple Computer,AAPL
Pepsico,PEP
Microsoft,MSFT
After creating the files you must change the extension to .sym. (from .txt)
The file must be placed in the folder that holds the Downloader (e.g.
C:\Programs/Equis/Downloader)

1. Try updating your Video Graphics drivers.
2. If you have lots of indicators in your default template, try reducing
the number of indicators. Metastock used to have a bug whereby if it tried
to open multiple charts, it would "reduce" the size of the chart window but
if there were too many indicators it would crash.
3. Which version of Metastock are you running? Metastock v7.00 and v7.01
had significant problems with Windows XP.
Cheers,
Richard Dale.

That's a unique problem being faced by you. What I suggest is that you download all the windows patches and updates. Maybe that should help you.
