In the charting application AmiBroker, I can create COM objects in the AFL script thus
myobj = CreateStaticObject("MyOwnActiveX.Class1");
myobj.Method( 1, 2, Close ); // call the method of myobj COM object
This creates a cached, persistant object with is callable from other formulas, see http://www.amibroker.com/guide/afl/afl_view.php?id=33
With this feature, I can use Visual Basic to create trading systems that I may find hard to do in EFS scripts - and then draw objects on the AmiBroker charts to denote buy and sell signals and red and blue lines on the chart to denote stop and limit levels.
This gives me a tremendous amount of flexibility in the coding and I can use the native charts in AmiBroker to provide visual feedback to the end user, without needing to code my own real time charts.
If I have understood the ActiveX API in eSignal, I can't return data to the eSignal charts as it is intended as a tool to expose eSignal data and not a tool to integrate ActiveX technolgy into eSignal EFS scripts.
Can I use eSignal's activeX features let me call my own COM objects and return data to eSignal?
