Thanks

That creates an error for me.

Oh ok, like i said i had it this morning but fine now. I think NDU may have done a update this morning or somethig

I’ve just spent 3 hours trying to work it out. I think the Norgate boys have gone home now so I’ll carry on in the morning. I tried coding the Unadjusted close function and that caused the same problem.

For today’s entries I commented out any code that causes the error and ran off the correct watchlist . I can’t do any backtests to check everything. I’ll update you in the morning in case anyone else has the same problems when trying to cross over

Why don’t you go back to the old database?

[Nick Radge]

Julian,
I have asked Kerry to come in here and make a comment about the code. He’s the first guy on NDU and Craig and he sorted the code out and its all running sweet.

[TrentRothall]

I haven’t updated my VPS yet. Will probably do it on the weekend once i’m happy.

Maurice you have to uninstall the PDU updater to install the NDU.

I think Craig has examples of the unadjsted close in the LMS Julian..

Here is the one i’m using.

Code:

_SECTION_BEGIN(“Optional Filters”);
//=====================================================================================
//Optional Filters
//=====================================================================================
PriceTog = ParamToggle(“Price Filter”,”Off|On”,1);
CloseToggle = ParamToggle(“Close Price”,”Adjusted|Unadjusted”,0);
CP = IIf(CloseToggle,NorgateOriginalCloseTimeSeries(),Close);
MinSP = Param(“Minimum Share Price”,.2,0.00,1000,0.01);
MaxSP = Param(“Maximum Share Price”,100,0.00,2000,0.01);
MinMaxSP = CP >= MinSP AND CP <= MaxSP; PriceFilt = IIf(PriceTog,MinMaxSP,1); //------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AveVolTog = ParamToggle("Average Volume Filter","Off|On",1); AveVolPer = Param("Volume EMA",30,2,1000,1); MinAveVol = Param("Minimum Average Volume",350000,0,10000000,1000); AveVol = EMA(Volume,AveVolPer) > MinAveVol;
AveVolFilt = IIf(AveVolTog,AveVol,1);
//————————————————————————————-
VolTog = ParamToggle(“Volume Filter”,”Off|On”,0);
MinVol = Param(“Minimum Volume”,300000,0,1000000,1000);
VolFilter = Volume > MinVol;
VolFilt = IIf(VolTog,VolFilter,1);
//————————————————————————————-
TOTog = ParamToggle(“Turnover Filter”,”Off|On”,1);
CloseToggle2 = ParamToggle(“Close Price.”,”Adjusted|Unadjusted”,0);
CP1 = IIf(CloseToggle2,NorgateOriginalCloseTimeSeries(),Close);
TO = V * CP1;
MinTO = Param(“Minimum Turnover – $”,500000,0,10000000,1000);
TOMA = Param(“Turnover MA”,7,1,200,1);
AveTO = EMA(TO,TOMA);
TOFilter = TO > MinTO AND AveTO > MinTO;
TOFilt = IIf(TOTog,TOFilter,1);
//————————————————————————————-
OptFilt = PriceFilt AND AveVolFilt AND VolFilt AND TOFilt;
//=====================================================================================
_SECTION_END();

Thanks so much for all the help boys.

Here is the answer to the problem, which we finally worked out late last night. I have to say the guys at Norgate are fantastic.

I copy and pasted the initial line of code that enables the Norgate functions. Big tip…DON’T. Type it out.

It would appear that although it looked perfect on my computer, as can be seen from the screenshots I posted earlier, when the code was put onto a machine at Norgate, it looked like this:

So therefore the code was not being read and the functions not recognised. My guess…I’m running a Windows environment inside a Mac and something goes wrong on the copy and paste between the two.

Took ages to find, but they found it.

BTW the DLL error was a known bug which I got as well as Trent. They fixed it in an update last night.

[TrentRothall]

Well there you go.

Good it’s all sorted then

[LeeDanello]

Trent, I haven’t received the email so I haven’t crossed over yet.

Hi all….looks like you have it all sorted now. I was going to say that I had problems with that initial line of code…tried copying/typing several times….then it just worked!

I’ve been on the NDU for a while (not by choice – my PDU just totally stopped working and they took the PDU login off me!) and it seems to all be working now. Agreed that Norgate are very helpful with any queries.

[TrentRothall]

I never got one, i’d just do it. So you can iron out any issues before the 15th. I think they are ceasing the PDU then

[JulianCohen]

We must have come across most of the issues by now :ohmy:

[LEONARDZIR]

Julian,
I retained the old masterdatabase but when I upgraded apparently a new masterdatabase was formed. I just followed the instructions to upgrade from pdu to ndu given on their site.

I haven’t received a mail about the change so I requested it from them. Response below. I guess this means we still have until the end of the month and not next week.

About a week ago we started migrating PDU alpha testers over to the beta testing program for the next version of our new updating platform (now known as “NDU”). Emails are being progressively sent out in batches over the next few weeks. Once finished PDU will be decommissioned . We expect this process to be complete somewhere around the end of February. NDU is slated for commercial release around the middle of the year.

You should receive an email with instructions some time in the next week or so.
