Steve/
You're right. A couple of ",-Opt2" omitted. Thanks to Adam for
pointing it out, but a minus sign omitted from his version. Try this
(E&OE).
Enter Long:
(Mov(C,Opt1,S)-Ref(Mov(C,Opt1,S),-Opt2))>
Ref(Mov(C,Opt1,S)-Ref(Mov(C,Opt1,S),-Opt2),-1) AND
(Mov(C,Opt1,S)-Ref(Mov(C,Opt1,S),-Opt2))<0
Enter Short:
(Mov(C,Opt1,S)-Ref(Mov(C,Opt1,S),-Opt2))<
Ref(Mov(C,Opt1,S)-Ref(Mov(C,Opt1,S),-Opt2),-1) AND
(Mov(C,Opt1,S)-Ref(Mov(C,Opt1,S),-Opt2))>0
I'm working on a similar system. After a little more testing will pass
it along if you're interested.
