Exchanging allows you to get the bar patterns, designer indicators, and systems other Investigator users have created. You can get these items by email or the Internet. Pinpoint Strategies also has some of these items available in the Help / Exchange area of our web site at:
www.great-trades.com
To get these items, select Exchange from the Special menu and Take from the Exchange menu.
A dialog box will appear asking you where the bar patterns, designer indicators, or system are that you want incorporate into Investigator. This can be any directory on your system or it can be on the internet.
The current directory is specified towards the top of the dialog box. To specify a different directory, first make sure the correct hard drive is selected. If not, click on the proper hard drive in the Drives: box on the left and click the Change Drive Button. (You can also double-click on the desired drive.)
Next make sure the proper directory is selected by changing into it. Again, the current directory is shown towards the top of the dialog box. You can change into different directories by clicking on the directory you wish to change into and then clicking the Change Directory button. (You can also double-click on the directory.)
Note: The directory “..” refers to the directory directly above the current directory.
Once you’ve changed into the directory you wish, click OK.
If there is more than one bar pattern, indicator, or system in this directory, a dialog box will appear asking you whether you want to take a bar pattern, a designer indicator, or a system. Make your selection and click OK.
A dialog box will then appear asking you which bar pattern, designer indicator, or system you wish to take. Select the bar pattern, designer indicator, or system you wish to take and click OK.
Investigator will update your bar patterns, designer indicators, and systems.
