easy language

I want to extend my programming abilities for easylanguage, and TradeStation version 7.x. Are there any books, or resources available that someone could recommend; the only books I have seen are those that were written for prior versions.

Thanks

 

They have not changed the manual for 7.
This is a start.

Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities magazine has code samples in just about every issue.

If you go to his page and click on "traders tips" you can look for samples of Tradestation (easy language) code.

Learn:

Pascal.

UML concepts.

Learn to write functions. What kind of indicators or set of indicators do you use? Try to get those pattern of yours or personal preferences to a function.

Learn the use of arrays. Do you have too much variables that are very similar? Try to array them nicely.

As an order... at least for me... I learned to write:

1. Indicators (ShowMe and PaintBar(or whatever it was called))

2. Signals.

3. Functions.

4. ActivityBars

5. ProbabilityMaps(or whatever they call it)

Then came all the COM ext. DLL using VBA then C++.

Hope this helps and good luck.

 

IMO,

I don't know of a book that is better than using Omegaresearch's tutorials and practice. There are many sites that have code for many many indicators, systems, functions, etc.

Agreed, those tapes that came with Supercharts and TS2000 were great and the books as well. There is a forum on yahoo, search "mr easylanguage", you can post questions there if you get stuck.
