Because MetaStock is too stupid to do system tests across several
securities, you have to setup your system for a (maybe artificial)
security containing your S&P future (in a price field) AND your
SIGNAL1.
This "artificial security" can be setup e.g. by copying your S&P
future AND your SIGNAL1 to an appropriate Excel table and importing
this using the Downloader. - Alternatively, this can be done with MS's
OLE connections, but, unfortunately, this often is not very reliable.
