dialog is the desired size. This is very convenient when writing
commentaries.
Name. Enter the name of the expert in the Name box. Type any unique
information about the expert in the Notes box.
You may want to use a consistent naming convention that describes the
components used in the expert. For example, if the only component of
the expert is a commentary, you may want to name it “MyExpert
(commentary)”. If the only component was an alert, you may name it
“MyExpert (alert). The more descriptive the name, the easier it will be
for you to remember what the expert does.
Trend. Enter the Bullish and Bearish trend rules. The rules are written
using MetaStock’s formula language (see page 235). The rules are
interpreted as either true or false. The results of the trend rules are
displayed in a ribbon, the expert corner, or in the Data Window. See page
403 for more information on writing and viewing trend rules.
Commentary. Enter the commentary to display. Commentaries are
used to tell you, in English (or German, Spanish, etc.), the technical state
of the security. There are two special functions and five constants
available specifically for writing commentaries. The built-in editor also
has a basic word-processing like toolbar that allows you to control fonts
and formatting. The results of the commentary are displayed in the
Expert Commentary dialog. See page 406 for more information on
writing and viewing commentaries.
