>From Larry Williams MDC workshops you maybe able to get a dll. I don't know
much about how programming language works, but the dll sure overcomes the TS
concept in system building that prohibits making trades into the future
(wow - should see my systems there 100% accurate for next Monday). Well at
least (if you wish to make the systems work on a higher degree of
difficulty) the dll can get you a position "if tomorrow's open is 'this' or
'that' ".

I also remember that a similar dll was suggested at a different web site for
sale, but have no record of the site.

Also there has been a dll; AnyOHLC.dll posted here. But it was only
developed for TS2000.

I would like to forward the dll for nextopen, but have no rights to do so.
Hopefully someone knows of the site were its compatriot is ???

Hope I've understood you correctly
Regards
Jon
