GlobalVariable.dll Version 2.2

 

 

Global Variable is a dynamic-link library (DLL) that can be used to extend EasyLanguage®.

 

A DLL’s can be written in any of a variety of programming languages,

including C/C++, Delphi, and PowerBASIC®.

 

User developed TradeStation®-compatible DLL’s, while not part of the TradeStation platform itself,

are used to provide user-developed function libraries that may be called from EasyLanguage analysis techniques.

 

Functions exported from user-developed DLL’s can be called by EasyLanguage analysis techniques and by other applications.

DLL functions can perform actions that cannot be done easily or at all in EasyLanguage.

Additionally, they might be used to speed up processing.

 

 

An example code is included;

it demonstrates how to create two types of global variable storage locations for each of five data types.

 

The two types of storage locations are

  • numbered storage locations,
  • named storage locations.

The five data types are

  • Boolean values,
  • integers,
  • single-precision floating point numbers (called simply “floats”),
  • double-precision floating-point numbers (called simply “doubles”),
  • strings (text values).

Tams,

 

This is a great a library. Thanks for posting it! I have a question though: why is there a limit on the number of numbered and named variables that can be stored? I assume you don't want the DLL to hog up too much resources, but is there a way to relax this limitation?

 

Greatly appreciate your help.

I would imagine the same... resource limitations.

 

Remember this app was written a few years back (quite a few years back!),

the resource was scarce then.

But we are not any better today; we are still in a restraining 32 bit environment: The application can only use 2 GB of whatever memory you have.

 

 

Sorry no, I have no way of changing it.

another great contribution by Tams

 

is anyone able to tell me if this dll concludes some array functions for dynamic arrays,

i am still in search for a suitable dll for 2000i.this one unfortunally requires the import

of ELD files which i am not able to do.

or maybe someone here is familiar with a suitable dll for the old 2000i version.

i have searched in various place but was not very lucky

I queried MC about a week ago regarding global variables - I didn't know about ADE. MC sent me zip file containing much of the same information posted by Tams(nice work!!!).

 

Anyway, printed the documentation; followed it step by step; followed additional instructions provided on TSSupport forum and here regarding deleting the stock GV from MC and placing the dlls in the MC directory.

 

When I followed the instructions on page 9 of "ALL DATA EVERYWHERE", "Creating the Functions and Indicator Manually". I got the error message attached.

 

MC tried to help but didn't want to spend the time on 3rd party supplied code.

 

Anyway ... not looking for others to do the thinking for me, however if someone has encountered this error before or might have a lead .... that would be sweet!!!

I think the question is for the EL Collections thread,

or the ADE thread.

Thanks Tams - tried that without much luck. Based on other postings, I think that I'll stick with the use of global variables for now. I'm essentially transfering variable data (permissives for entry signals) to my signals using other time frames.

 

Thanks for taking time to provide input ...... your comment about posting in the appropriate thread led me answer my own question ... ;o)

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
