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(R)-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).

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.

uninstall gv, elc, ade...
and start over again

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)
