Haven't read the article, but for example if you want to enter at 1 tick
above/below setup bar so system tester can to do the math, this may get
you as close.&nbsp;&nbsp; Of course it only will calc from setup bar's
high or low, not the 1 tick above/below condition.&nbsp; BTW, arrows will
appear on setup bar, not&nbsp; entry bar.
<br>Set trade entry price to high with zero delay.&nbsp; Set trade exit
price to close with 1 bar delay.
<br>if you want to use the inactivity stop, set periods to 1.&nbsp; Or
for if you want to use a close long/short condition to force an exit, stick
1>0 in there and don't use the inactivity stop.&nbsp;
<br>I added an additional line.&nbsp; -Ken
<br>Try this for buys:
<p>N:=-1;
<br>R:=0.01;
<br>QUAD:=Ref(H-L,N)*R;
<br>H&lt;Ref(H,N)-QUAD AND L>Ref(L,N)-QUAD
<br>AND Ref(H,1)>H
<p>--Shorts--
<br>N:=-1;
<br>R:=0.01;
<br>QUAD:=Ref(H-L,N)*R;
<br>H&lt;Ref(H,N)-QUAD AND L>Ref(L,N)-QUAD
<br>AND Ref(L,1)&lt;L

For buys only.
Run separate test for shorts using low.
