Hi Members,

Actually I'm trying to create a simple "Buy and Hold" OR perhaps I'll
even settle for a simple Enter and Exit system using only one complete
trade. In other words, using simple English, I would say it like the
following...

Enter Long at the open on "Bar 1" and Exit Long at the close on "Bar
11,561".

I'm trying to write this system in the AFL Wizard with no success. I
am doing something wrong. Guaranteed! 

Thanks again
Walter
