Hi chi,
Brief responses to your questions (the markets are open & I'm trading,
so not much time for detail):
1) Yes. See Foreign in help and numerous posts in this group.
2) Yes. AB is very programmable. If you can
think articulate it, it probably can be done.
3) Try this to get started: Buy = C> MA(C,65) AND REF(C> MA(C,65)
,-1) AND REF(C> MA(C,65) ,-2);

Questions
Now that I've found a competent group that seems willing to
help, I would like to pose some questions:
1. What is the best
way to reference an index (i.e., S&P 500) and depending on the condition
of that index the formula would indicate a buy signal for stock A or a sell
signal for stock B? I am trying to create a simple formula that trades
two ETFs (MDY for longs and MYY for shorts).
2. Is there a way to
change your position size depending on variables? For instance, I would
like to increase the size of my buys and decrease the size of my shorts in the
case where the overall market (i.e., S&P500 close > its 200 MA) is in
an uptrend. And vice versa.
3. I have been reading some
books and I wanted to emulate a formula that I read about. It's very
simple but I can't figure out how to do it simply. If there are three
consecutive closes above the 65 SMA, then buy. If there are three
consecutive closes below the 65 SMA then sell. Any thoughts on how to do
it?
Thanks again for everyone who helped me before. I'm going to
guess that you'll be hearing a lot from me.
