You
can access price and volume (this works just like a MetaStock built in function
- the active security determines the data that is used within your
function) and user input (parameters/arguments), but no MetaStock built in
indicators. Most indicators are pretty simple anyway, so that is no great
loss and just take a few lines of code. If the indicator is more
complicated, the MSX.dll is the better place to construct it anyway because
there is no limit as to what algorithm you can construct and you have all the
functionality of your programming language without limitation. Of course,
you can always use MetaStock's built in indicators within MetaStock, you just
can't call them within your MSX.dll. Think of your MSX.dll as a
collection of functions that add to those that are already in
MetaStock and once written successfully, seamlessly work just like those built
in functions. Functions calculated within your MSX.dll even show up in the
"Paste Function" listing all grouped under your plug-in's
name.

By the
way, to call specific price data (i.e. like the "Security" function built
into MetaStock) that is not the active security you must either use the MSFL or
draw from an outside datafile. Since I am doing the latter, I can't really
answer any issue regarding the MSFL (I am not using it if I can help it to avoid
inherent compatibility issues in my plug-in when it is distributed to
subscribers).

Hope
this helps.

is confusing at first, but once you get your project started it
getseasier. For me getting started was the hard part and the
variable namesthey used in the template were difficult for me to get
used to (they oftenstill confuse me). If I understand your comment
correctly, you cannot useor draw upon any built in MetaStock indicators,
experts, etc., but mustbuild them all into your MSX.dll. You can
build custom indicators, experts,etc. based upon the functions
calculated in your MSX.dll. The only thingyou can pull in from
MetaStock is data and user input parameters(arguments). You can
also pull your data from an outside datafile which iswhat I am
doing.Good luck.Best,Larry CarharttIndex &
