So I'm thinking it would be nice to have a dialog box (call it View Trade...) that allows me to enter a symbol, entry date, exit date, and a desired template, then click a Show Chart button. I don't think I need to describe what it would do... Could I build this with the SDK and extend OTs View menu to include the new menu item? Regardless, please consider this for a future release. Thanks for your consideration. | ||

Could that be created via the SDK? Thanks for your consideration. Cheers! | ||

Either OLang or the SDK can be used to read an external text file, parse it, and plot any numeric info from it on a chart (you can’t plot Alpha labels). Doing this in OLang is awkward because of Parser limitations, but I’ve found ways to both read and write text files. I wouldn’t try to deal with an XLS file - stick to TXT. Using the SDK, since it’s full dotNet, you may be able to more readily read/write XLS. However I haven’t tried that. Hope this helps clarify things. There have been many requests on the table for years to do small and large enhancements to OLang, but nothing has happened (likely since few use it and changes like that would take a lot of programmer hours and net them little to no income) [Edited by Jim Dean on 7/12/2018 5:51 AM] | ||

These also can be incorporated via OLang or SDK into an Indicator. But you have to be careful to prevent extended looping that repeatedly pops up the box. I have used both MsgBox and InputBox extensively with good success. In one case (MTV), the entire (long) User Manual is viewable pane by pane with section jumps etc. (driven by a structured text file) I’ve also used it for “context sensitive” Help pop ups when a given param is set to a particular value (usually -1). These are considerably easier to implement and manage than file I/O … but still care is needed. I’m not sure how N could improve on this - all the standard VBA MsgBox and InputBox features are accessible, even in OLang. [Edited by Jim Dean on 7/12/2018 9:35 AM] |
