Couldn't resist my 2 cents worth here....even if we could raise the bar of
complexity, it wouldn't increase the probability of higher profits with any
certainty. It would require a supercomputer with all the factors of the
market built into a formula that then somehow gives an indication for the
stock you are looking at. No matter how complex, an indicator still just
gives an indication of possible direction. But they are fun to play with, no
question about that.

"The only way to use complex indicators in MS is to have them built into the
program. MS would be a very powerful program if it had a more functional
"formula language". Something like visual basic or a subset of C++ or
visual C would do it."
MS has a the ability to build anything through the DLL function and MSX
add-on. Why do you need a subset of C++ when you can use full C++, Delphi,
or any other DLL capable lanquage to build anything you want? You could
even build a separate program that uses MetaStock Data and builds the Price
by Volume that's being talked about in a separate window.
I think the people who are complaining about the MS formula language want
something that does not exist anywhere. They want the easy to use, simple
function commands to do incredibly complex stuff. If you want complex stuff
it takes a complex programming language. If you want ease of use, then you
want a simple set of function commands. MS has both. So I don't know what
people are complaining about.
