EasyLanguage going Object Oriented

lots of Object Oriented Programming tutorials on Youtube.

It will be interesting to see if they retain the "easy" part of EasyLanguage whilst introducing this. Whilst OO does provide some advantages I am still not convinced that it's benefits outweigh the dis-advantages for smaller projects. Things that take minutes and a dozen or two lines in EL seem to take hours to day(s) and pages of code in more OO languages. As I have said before I am a dinosaur....perhaps that is something to do with it

As long term users of Trade Station we find great value in that these objects will finally replace the POS Trade Manager. Finally objects that represent a true/real order management protocol for use within EL for the development of automated systems. The only place I can see where these particular objects will be of hlep to the point and click traders is that finally stops can be made to be persistent.

Finally it looks like TS is not only catching up but maybe playing a little leap-frog. Of most importance to us in the new TS 9 are the millisecond time stamping, test inside the bars for volume charts and of course the new order management objects for EL.

About time TS.

Certainly agree about the ms time stamping. Hard to take TS seriously as a platform until that is introduced.

The trade objects sound like a great idea but I was talking more about converting EL to a fully OOPs implementation. Whether you instantiate a new trade object or invoke a function that adds a trade record to a linked list doesn't really matter too much (to me).

Incidentally I meant to ask if they have made an official announcement about ms time stamping? Obviously it will come if they want to remain competitive just wondered if they are trumpeting about it yet.

As an aside Neoticker has had all this stuff since......I dunno... when it was launched way back when. Still a great choice for retail traders who require tick precision and a whole lot more. (I have no connection with TickQuest).

I attended a conference with their development staff almost 4 months ago and they let us know about the time stamping etc.

We have almost changed to Neo-Ticker several times over these issues but we have been assured that all will be implemented over the next few months.

We have a huge body of code in EL and have been loath to move, now it looks like we wont have to.

have you tried those codes in MultiCharts?
they do sub-minute analysis.

No Tams, we have not run in MultiCharts.

Our software engineer ran MC for a month and vetoed it as a candidate for us because of reasons too far under the cover for me to fully understand. His verdict was that if we were to change from TS it would be TT or NeoTicker.

I for one couln't be more delighted at the channges proposed for TS 9 and hope they live up to their promise.
