hello larry!
did you try to run msfl samples provided by the mdk software? Larry Carhartt <lc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Sayeed,
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.

larry,
thanx again. well , can i access price, volume,ask bid,other indicator data, rsi, and with moving averageschange period etc. through mdk? Larry Carhartt <lc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Sayeed,It 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 & ETF Component
