Re: Need help with system test rules

Otto,

There may be a more elegamt way, but here's what I do:

Create a custom indicator using the Metastoeck P variable.  Call it e.g.
"Xtest".  The value is simply "P" .
Drag the indicator over SIGNAL until it is selected.
Select Xtest so that it is highlighted.
Run a system test based on XTest:
	Enter Long: Fml("Xtest") > 0
	Close Long: Fml("Xtest") <0
	etc....

Seems to me that one should be able to reference P directly, but I couldn"t
get it to work that way.
