This is where hopefully someone else can jump in with ideas. I have
never needed to do this so i have never tried. I thought you coud do
something like this


longentry = high + [averagetruerange/2]
if condition1 is true then begin
 buy at longentry stop;
 FileAppend("C:\syst1.txt", "hi brokerdude"+newline);
 FileAppend("C:\syst1.txt", "Buy 1 contract SPZ04 at "+longentry+" Stop.
Good for day session only."+newline);
 if dayofweek = 6 then  FileAppend("C:\syst1.txt", "Thank god its
friday"+newline);
 FileAppend("C:\syst1.txt", "Cheers bigears"+newline);
 FileAppend("C:\syst1.txt", "Pete"+newline);
end;


I cant see why that couldnt work, depending how your system/trading works.

Anyone else has any ideas? Can anyone see why it wouldnt work?

Cheers
Cameron

Thanks, here's one deal:

File Send Automatically 1.1

http://www.brothersoft.com/Internet_E-Mail_File_Send_Automatically_19397.html

OK, another question. I used file append to write
to a directory, but what do I use to get the signals
written there?


FileAppend("C:\syst1.txt", "Orders");

This actually sends the word "Orders" to the
file :-). What do i plug in there to get the
siganls sent to the file? Where do I need to place
this statement in the system?

Thanks again!

Pete
