[Sam] I
didn't understand...these don't appear to do
anything since they are not predefined variables:
> Position =
exRem(Buy,Short);
You were using Buy
and Short in you initial code so they were defined...Position here is simply a
custom variable that assumes the value of 1 when you are Long and 0 when you are
Short - useful for a variety of purposes; for example plotting a Position
Ribbon:
Position =
exRem(Buy,Short);
Plot(1,"Position",iif(Position,colorGreen,colorRed),styleArea|styleownscale,0,30);
> LongPosition = exRem(Buy,Sell);
> ShortPosition =
exRem(Short,Cover);
The above can be used
similarly for non-reversal systems or when you use
stops.
[Sam] However, I essentially want to alternate between going long and
going
short.
Not sure how you generate your signals... the way you
toggle your positions is new to me... my systems always define all four signals
logically and rigidly. I do this also so that if I add stops the system will
continue to behave as expected. I am not sure if exRem is intended to
"add" anything in the area of signal generation...but perhaps i misunderstand
what you are doing.

Many thanks Herman,
However, I
essentially want to alternate between going long and
going short.
> Buy = exRem(Buy,Sell);
> Sell = exRem(Sell,Buy);
>
Short = exRem(Short,Cover);
> Cover = exRem(Cover,Short);
the
above means that I have more than 1 short or more than 1 long
position in
a sequence.
Using:
Buy = ExRem( Buy, Short);
Sell = ExRem(
Sell, Buy );
Short=ExRem(Short,Buy);
Cover=ExRem(Cover,Short);
seems to
alternate between long and short positions.
I didn't
understand:
> Position = exRem(Buy,Short);
> LongPosition
= exRem(Buy,Sell);
> ShortPosition = exRem(Short,Cover);
these
don't appear to do anything since they are not predefined
variables.
Could you
explain?
Thanks
Sam
