Hi gang, I would like to backtest a trend trading/breakout 
system....but the code I have is in Metastock. I would prefer to 
backtest the system in AB (of course) as I'm led to believe that the 
Metastock tester leaves a lot to be desired. So with that 
said...here's the Metastock code and the system explanation.


ENTRY Exploration: 
Cross(H,Ref(HHV(H,10),-1)) AND H > Mov(C,40,E) AND HHVBars(H,70)=0 
AND Fml("Liquidity") > 500000 AND C < 10.00 AND C > O

IN INDICATOR BUILDER
name it Liquidity 
Mov(V * C,21,S) 

EXIT 
Cross(Ref(Mov(L,180,E),-1),C) 


In English.
(1)   Cross(H,Ref(HHV(H,10),-1)) When todays high crosses the last 
Highest High over the last 10 periods AND 
(2)   H > Mov(C,40,E)The high is greater than the 40 day exponential 
Moving Average AND 
(3)   HHVBars(H,70)=0 Todays high is the highest high for 70periods 
AND 
(4)   Fml("Liquidity") > 500000 The $ value of trading in the Share  
is greater than $500K AND 
(5)   C < 10.00 The close is less than $10 AND 
(6)   C > O. The close is higher than the open.


Hope someone can convert this for me, as I still can't get the grasp 
of this coding lerk!

Cheers   dumb ol'Bruiser
