Re: Dynamic Arrays, Functions, Lists
You can pass dynamic arrays to functions. Check out page 109 of the EL Essentials PDF and the examples there.
You'll have to check out what happens when you change the array size within the function.

Re: Dynamic Arrays, Functions, Lists
If you got the doc from the original zip file, it also contains the functions ELD that you'll have to import before you can use the DLL. You can probably find them here, although I didn't check it: viewtopic.php?=&p=8189

Re: Dynamic Arrays, Functions, Lists
I also considered using Lists. I downloaded the ELCollections DLL to the correct folder but statements such "ListID = ListN.New; " indicate it isn't recognized. Another question - what is the scope of those lists? can a function access a list? I don't see how can a list be passed to a function.. Tr...

Re: Entry at exact time different with tick or minute bar
evdl, this appears to happen only when you check "Enable access to intra-bar time..." in the backtest. In my opinion this shouldn't be expected behavior as this results in the code behaving different in a backtest compared to the same code in realtime and that can be a problem. Can someone from Mult...

Re: "First 5 trading days of the year"
Jonny473, if I understand you correctly it should be enough to compare the open of a year to the close on day 5 and then buy/sell according to that. You can get the new year with: "if Year( Date ) <> Year( Date[1] )" Then you can use a counter to increment on each day until day 5, where you compare ...

To clarify what I wrote above, when I say "to get results that are as close as the tick by tick behavior as possible", this means as close as you can get with MC.

kernel, in general it's possible and practical to optimize code that uses IOG (although there can be exceptions, if your code uses values that are only available realtime for example). When you backtest/optimize code that uses IOG I'd suggest to use the Bar Magnifier with the highest possible resolu...

Re: Open/Close Indicator
BC_Trading,
you can't accomplish this with keywords, but you can set it up with the plot styles under the indicator properties.
Simply set the Open to "Left Tick", the High to "Bar High", Low to "Bar Low" and Close to "Right Tick".

Do you refer to the time it takes on startup until the data is loaded and the results are computed? If so, do you store the TS data in QM's database or does MC have to download it every time from scratch?

Because you set it when your condition is true, but never reset it. If you set the value of a variable within your conditional check "if Condition12 then begin..." it would keep this value until you change it again, too. It's similar for the plots in the Scanner, they will simply keep the last value...

tradingest, the scanner is not wrong, it does exactly what your code tells it to do. When you set plot values they will be kept until you update them again. This means you will have to either remove them (using NoPlot) or set them to a different value when your Condition12 is no longer present. Rega...

what is the result of your code?
You have IntrabarOrderGeneration enabled, but your variables are not intrabarpersist. This might be an explanation, but not knowing what actually happens with your code this is just a guess.
