I've not been able to access the Borland site for getting a key. I get to the site, but, I get a timeout error every time I get a link to grab a key. Is there anyway to get a key or license file for this?

Now it works, I registered my version of Turbo Delphi, though registration process is tricky: first you should make an account on Borland Developers Network and only then get your registration file. Also I had to download MS Net Framework and Visual J# SDK needed for installation, so read instructions carefully. But after all it is installed, registered and works for free.

Does this have a timebomb in it? When I requested the key, it seemed like it was geared toward an evaluation.
Thay said it is free, only if you upgrade for pro version they charge something. Turbo Delphi Explorer contains less components but for usual user and even for me it is more than enough. I already compiled some indicators and strategies with it and it works fine.
This appears to be a rather tricky task. I was finally able to register, login and get my activation file, but it's kind of a pain Well, it's free, right?

I've been trying to load this, but it seems to get hung up when loading the extra stuff that the program requires from the internet, I keep getting timed out when it attempts to load the web page. Any ideas?

Seems they do not provide this link for free anymore... Damn, I will try to find a solution.
Hello, two weeks ago I could register it but now it seems that there is no more access at all to the Delphi Turbo registration. I will ask the question on Embarcadero developers network. It would surprise me that there is no more free version registrable, let's see.
There is a free cross platform Delphi/Object Pascal compiler - Lazarus. http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/. It is absolutely free, open source project. And it can compile indicators and strategies for Forex Tester without any changes in source code.

I checked out Delphi Turbo and a pretty slick Turbo Pascal C++ development tool with point and click programming. I did not see this in the Lazarus video. It look like you need to program in native C++. Delphi reseller says Delphi Professional edition is the closest to Delphi Turbo and it is $900
I just want to build strategies in Forex Testor with indicators, entry, exit and be able to run 2 years history through my strategy with the results going to account history.
Solved - I found the Lazarus sticky and the API lesson 1
Hi guys,
I am using the Lazarus compiler and im seeing a wierd error. I followed the video - number 8 to a T i think...
The first time i compiler an indicator code, it seems to compile fine to a dll and forextester loads it. Then i change the code and rebuild it in lazarus with some tiny change...
And forextester refuses to load my indicator??
Its very wierd
Any ideas?
Thanks
John
Ps im trying to code an RVI indy, i wonder would anyone have one done?
Here is my code. Its just cut from the help file.
The first time i create a project with Lazarus v0.26 it installs fine into Forextester 2.5
Then i make a tiny change like the string in the object window from Stochastic to IndicatorShortName('RVI');
rebuild in lazarus, import in FT and then fail!!!
Very annoying.
So first time build my code works. Make any change in lazarus, even comment a meaningless line and it fails!
begin RegOption('SMA period', ot_Integer, SMAPeriod); RegOption('Description', ot_String, SomeText); // see Initialization procedure // configure indicator IndicatorShortName('Stochastic'); // name Stochastic SetOutputWindow(ow_SeparateWindow); // paint in separate window
//...
end;
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------- // Deinitialization procedure (could be omitted) //---------------------------------------------------------------------------
procedure Done; stdcall;
begin
// see Deinitialization procedure
//...
end;
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------- // On parameters change procedure (could be omitted) //---------------------------------------------------------------------------
procedure OnParametersChange; stdcall;
begin
// called when parameters of indicator were changed
//...
end;
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------- // Calculation of single bar //---------------------------------------------------------------------------
procedure Calculate(index: integer); stdcall;
begin // see Calculation procedure //...
end;
