Can indicators be written in VB/C++

Hi,

My background is in MS Access database and database GUI/API development. I was wondering if it is possible to develop my own indicators/stratagies using Visual Studio 2008 (Visual Basic or C++) as I am rather more familar with those programming languages than I am with lua.

To be honest I am finding it rather frustrating that I cannot pick up the lua language.

Thanks.

If you want to use C++ indicator into then Marketscope you need to make a dll that can be used from Lua. You can find an example into this topic viewtopic.php?f=21&t=3063 (actually it maked for C#, but you can get some common things from it). Also you can find information about C API for Lua by this link - http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#3
