a rule in place that the backtester will use from there on out. it doesn't
return a value that you later have to manually exit with, using a 'sell =
something' statement like you have.

>I'm
in need of some help with a backtest here. I'm able to get my profit
stops to kick in no problem, but for some reason my stop loss doesn't work
properly- the results are all over the map!Graham has been helping me
a lot with this the past week (thanks bud!) but I'm starting to feel bad
about taking up so much of his time and no matter how much I tinker with
this, it won't work.Here's my code with all my buy criteria (one
through ten) not included as they're really not relevant
anyway)***************************************SetTradeDelays(0,0,0,0);SetOption("ActivateStopsImmediately",1);
SetOption("AllowSameBarExit",1); BuySig = One AND two
AND three AND four AND five AND six AND seven AND eight AND nine AND ten;
Buy = Ref (buysig, -1) AND High > ( Ref (High, -2) + 0.03 ) ;
BuyPrice = ValueWhen (BuySig, Ref (High, -1) + 0.03 ) ; // might
also need alternative BuyPrice if the Low of the Day is greater than the
High,-2StopLoss = ValueWhen( BuySig, Ref( Low, -2 ) - 0.01 );
//Low of three days before buy minus 0.01 I THINK THIS IS WHERE THE
PROBLEM IS!!Exit1 = ApplyStop (stopTypeLoss, stopModePoint,
StopLoss, True, True); //Stop loss based on low of 3 days prior to stock
purchaseExit2 = ApplyStop (stopTypeProfit, stopModePercent, 6,
True) ; //Profit target of 6% activated immediatelySell = Cross
(Exit1, Low) OR Cross (Exit2, High);Buy = ExRem( Buy, Sell );
Thanks in advance
everyone!Chris
