Rick,
No to delay buy signal by one day in the code you would need to use
buy = Ref( buy, -1 );
Why?
As said in the manual:
"The formula "ref( CLOSE, -14 )" returns the closing price 14 periods ago."
So the Ref( Buy, -1 ) returns the buy signal from one day ago.
In other words TODAY Ref( buy, -1 ) returns the buy signal that occurred YESTERDAY.
This is what we want.
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
