Hi all....I'll start with an apology if you get this twice.  I believe I
addressed the first one to the "old" MetaStock list but I'm not sure of it's
completely defunct.

I'm looking for some formula assistance to achieve the following strategy:

I am trying to plot and back test, in the MetaStock 6.5 System Tester, a
"Down Trend Reversal Strategy."  I would like to find out how often the
conditions below occurred during the total time period I have stored for any
stock issue.  Then, have the System Tester report on how much profit or loss
would have resulted using MetaStock's assumed $1000 investment.


Assume "at least" six days of consecutive lower lows.
Assume that on the seventh (or greater), day the close is > than yesterdays
close.
Assume that on the following day both the open and close are > than
yesterdays close.
Automatically plot a buy signal.
After "X" days (lets assume 5), automatically plot an exit signal.

For an Up Trend Reversal Strategy, one would reverse the conditions.

I would appreciate any suggestions or opinions.  Thank you.

Hans
