I do a similar thing. Try using -1 for down trends, +1 for up trends, thus 0 means nothing. There are other benefits to this such as figuring gain or loss for long/short positions as you can use the same formula multiplied by the trend (-1 reverses a short trade).

The only rub now is that the operation was a success but the patient 
died.:)  I have working, error-free code that doesn't solve the 
difficulty I was trying to get around.

I have "buy/sell" and "short/cover" rules that refer to my trend-
following indicator's binary signal, "1" for "uptrend" and "0" 
for "downtrend."  The problem is that the FLIP() function starts 
at "0" by default until the first array (Cond1) is initialized.  
There may or may not actually be a downtrend during this period, so I 
get false "short" signals at the beginning of any data I'm testing.  
After the first condition is initialized, though, everything works 
perfectly.

I'm simply trying to get rid of the false signals, with no trades 
taken until one or the other of the arrays is initialized.


Luck,

Sebastian
