Custom MetaStock Programming

News

07 October 2008
I should have mentioned in yesterday's update; we are starting to make preparations for our annual adventure. This year we are going to Nepal for two months and back to India for another month. We leave at the end of November 2008 and will be home at the end of February 2009. Like always, we are NOT taking computers with us and will have limited contact. I will not be undertaking any new large projects between now and then; I will not be undertaking any new projects whilst we are away.

MetaStock Formula Language

If you cannot devote the time to learn how to program MetaStock using the MetaStock Formula Language, or you have tried and cannot get your code working just the way you want, I can help.

I can write your system in the MetaStock Formula Language and document the work so you know exactly how the code works. No locked or hidden code. No tricks. No forward referencing!

My rates:
A$80.00 (US$60.00) per hour (prorata after the first hour)
Minimum A$80.00 (US$60.00)
(plus 10% GST if applicable)

External Formulae

There are some problems which are just too complicated for the MetaStock Formula Language, so it maybe necessary to write an external function file for your solution. These files are commonly called .dll files, add-ons or plug-ins.

Quoting from the "MetaStock Developers Kit User Manual"

MSX DLLs can perform calculations of virtually unlimited complexity. You have the full power of conventional programming languages like C or Pascal with all of their logic, data manipulation and rich flow-control capabilities.

My rates:
A$105.00 (US$80.00) per hour (prorata after the first hour)
Minimum A$105.00 (US$80.00)
(plus 10% GST if applicable)

Other Projects

If you need any custom software developed (it doesn't have to be related to investing) please get in contact with me, I can create the solution to your problem.

The cost for each project can be negotiated based on the size and complexity of the task.

Ethics

If you want me to write a system that I know will NOT work, I will not do it, and I will explain why!

I am a firm believer in the K.I.S.S. principle and Occam's razor (or Ockham's razor, depending on where you grew up?) i.e. "Entities should not be multiplied beyond necessity." or it's more popular version, "The simplest explanation is usually the best."

I guarantee exclusivity and confidentiality.

All payments must be received before project commencement.

Rates correct as of 14 February 2007.
