If you make sure your text files have no header lines, you can do a simple DOS command:

copy file1.ext+file2.ext target.ext

Thanks Mike....

I have started reading the easylanguage manuals but they reference tradestation as the platform...

Is there a Manual out there or Videos for Multicharts out there that can;

1) Brings you through how to create simple strategies
2) Test them
3) Review results.

Please keep in mind my programming skills are 0 so hence the basic i.e the process in building strategies, signals, backtesting etc in Multicharts....

I'm not aware of such a tutorial. But you can find some basic info here:



and:



And then in August we're holding a webinar where a systematic trader for a big fund will be talking about how he uses MultiCharts.

Very good thanks... I decided to download the Multicharts for Trial.. Happy I haev enough info to try it out and get most out of it..


Found this particular site, decided to try simple inside bar indictor (_Tutorial1) with New Trial Multicharts

Tutorial 1 – Create Simple [AUTOLINK]Inside Bar[/AUTOLINK] Indicator Study | Chartplex

Here is my code

Quoting 
Condition1 = H < H[1] and L > L[1];

If condition1 then plot1( (H + L)/2 );

Same as above code in tutorial program


However keep on getting this in the Build Tab when compiling


Quoting 
Study: "_Tutorial1" (Indicator)
Please wait ....
------ Compiled with error(s): ------
Compile error
errLine 0, errColumn 0, errLineEnd 0, errColumnEnd 0
causal study: (Function)

and the following Microsoft windows error


Quoting 
as.exe has stopped working.
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

I have downloaded the Multicharts Trial

What could the problem be?

You are getting off topic for your own thread, please create a new thread in the MultiCharts section for a MC specific question or problem. Briefly, your code looks fine but maybe you created more than just this (like you created a function called "causal") and the problem is there.
