Re: Debugging with Visual Studio Express for Desktops 2012 [SOLVED]
Just got home and tried it and it worked. I have 2 other suggestions that helped for me. a) don't set the breakpoints until after you attach to the MCCharts.exe process b) just changing the status of the indicator did not work the first time. I had to close the workspace and reopen it to hit the bre...

Application Launch [SOLVED]
One enhancement that would be beneficial is the addition of a new type of study(aside from the existing signals/indicators/functions). Currently if I write a form application I need to launch it from a chart. Instead it would be nice if you had a new type that could be launched from a menu (like any...

Re: Debugging with Visual Studio Express for Desktops 2012 [SOLVED]
Thanks for getting back to me Henry. I worked on it late last night and was able to get it working on my laptop but not my desktop. I am using the exact same process on each. When I set the breakpoints it tells me that it will not stop because "symbols have not been loaded for this document". I goog...

Debugging with Visual Studio Express for Desktops 2012 [SOLVED]
I've followed all the forum posts to try to get it to work but I can't seem to get it to work. I've made an argument in another post of why the new express versions are superior to the older versions so it would be great if you can help me out with this. I'm configured as follows: - Win7 64 - MS.Net...

2012 Visual Studio Express/ Team Foundation Server Express
I think it would be a benefit to the application to have a solution that works with the new Visual Studio Express for Desktops as a) this version combines C#/VB/C++ under 1 roof like the professional version of VS, b) it has the ability to attach to process for debugging that is missing from earlier...

Re: vs 2012 compatibility [SOLVED]
I'm running the new Visual Studio Express for Desktops 2012 and it seems to all be working fine on my laptop and desktop. As an aside, I love the new express version as it includes C++/C#/VB all under one roof (like the professional version) and they now have a express version of the team foundation...

Do you have an example of how to do the equivalent of a "Next Bar on Open" order in EL? It is for a opening gap strategy that I am porting over where I want to process the order after the opening tick of a new session (as i filter whether to place the trade based on where the opening price is) and s...
