Jim, Vitaly, Michael, John and Harley - Thanks for your assistance with
the syntax problem.
<P>Just for the sake of closure, the following formulas didn't work:
<P>Ref(C, -1) > .6 * Ref(H, -1) - Ref(L, -1) (my original)
<BR>as well as
<BR>Ref(C, -1) > .6 *( Ref(H, -1) - Ref(L, -1)) one extra set of
parens
<BR>Ref(C, -1) > (.6 * (Ref(H, -1) - Ref(L, -1))) two sets of parens
didn't work.
<P>The reason - as Jim explained it to me - is that my original expression
would always be true and would give me one continuous buy signal.
Apparently, the system tester rejects that kind of formula, because it
showed no trades.
<P>The following formulas <B><I><FONT SIZE=+1>do</FONT></I></B> work:
<P> C > L + (H-L)*0.6 (with Ref(...., -1) added)
<BR>and
<BR>Ref(C, -1) > (Ref(H,-1) - .4 * Ref(H, -1) - Ref(L, -1))
<P>With best wishes,
<BR>Philip</HTML>
