Answers to Common Questions

   

Question

Is it possible to build the comment into the setup dialog box for charts and scans so it could be left unchanged or modified slightly when updating?
   

Answer

See "Setup: Preferences: Import/Export".

Here you can specify whether you wish to be prompted for a comment or not. If you elect NOT be to prompted, you have the further option of specifying "no comment" or a fixed comment of your choosing, e.g. "This RTL object compliments of Charles Dow".

The comment exported with the RTL object is displayed to the recipient when someone imports your scan, signal, or custom indicator.

If you wish to add comments to a specific RTL object, add text anywhere you like inside the formula area of the RTL setup. e.g.

CL > MA; /* find instruments trading above their 100 day moving average */

Any text in the syntax area that is preceded with /* and terminated by */ is ignored by the parser.

For example,

/* this is a comment */ CL > MA; /* and more comments */

does the same as:

CL > MA
