Hello Mark,

You can insert these studies onto your chart via the Insert menu -> Study -> Signals tab.
You can also see their scripts in the PowerLanguage Editor: File -> Open -> check the Signal box.
For their description, please check this Wiki section. Those are industry standard tools, so you can also find more info online.

Nice compilation Mark. My criticism is the following:
1) MC developers should have named these built-in signals so they can be easily identified.
ex: MC Stop Loss SX, MCTimeExit (Bars) LX, MCTimeExit (Bars) SX, etc.
2) there are no comments in the code
3) much of the code is "fugly".... a code beautifier is badly needed.
