Just read the article and realized that I sent the wrong exit trade delay
. You state it plainly enough, I just misread it. Should be
0, not 1.
<br>It's a pain to have to set the trade up this way. Especially
since it isn't totally accurate as far as entries go. It's only a
tick, but what if a system calls for entries at values other than one tick?
And it's inconvenient to look at a chart and have to keep in mind that
the arrow is on the bar prior to where you would really enter. If
there is another way to use the System Tester to enter at the "prior" day's
high and exit on the "entry day's" close, I don't know it. We need
a more advanced system tester. Anyone else agrees email Equis suggestions
dept please. mailto:suggestions@xxxxxxxxx

<br>Enter long: {Set trade entry price to HIGH, Zero delay.
<br>
(For shorts, use Low.)
<br>
Set Exit to Close, Zero delay. Set Inactivity
<br>
Stop Min Chg to a value that won't be reached
<br>
and periods to 1} {Buy arrow will plot on setup bar}
<p> N:=-1;
<br> R:=0.01;
<br> QUAD:=Ref(H-L,N)*R;
<br> H<Ref(H,N)-QUAD AND L>Ref(L,N)-QUAD
<br> AND Ref(H,1)>H
<br>
<br>Inactivity stop Long and short positions.
<br> Minimum change of 1000 Points over 1 periods.

<br>Positions Long and short
<br>Entry trade price High

<blockquote TYPE=CITE>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. Of course it only will
calc from setup bar's high or low, not the 1 tick above/below condition.
BTW, arrows will appear on setup bar, not entry bar.
<br>Set trade entry price to high with zero delay. Set trade exit
price to close with 1 bar delay.
<br>if you want to use the inactivity stop, set periods to 1. 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.
<br>I added an additional line. -Ken
<br>Try this for buys:
<p>N:=-1;
<br>R:=0.01;
<br>QUAD:=Ref(H-L,N)*R;
<br>H<Ref(H,N)-QUAD AND L>Ref(L,N)-QUAD

Gap and Equilateral Quads trading rules cannot be duplicated exactly since
entry is executed at a stop the same day that all conditions are met.
Therefore my entry point is on the open with a delay of 0. Now I
would like to exit at the close of the same day. It seems the system
tester (which now allows for seperate entry and exit rules in the new 6.52
version) forces the exit to the next day. Has anyone found
this to be true also and is there a workaround?</font></font> <font size=-1>And,
regarding the PRINT reports to a GENERIC/TEXT file, has anyone noticed
that the leading edge of numbers and trailing edge of text is being truncated?
Or is it just my generic/test print driver? For example Net Profit
will report 8.45 when it's really 38.45.</font> <font size=-1>Thanks,Chuck</font></blockquote>

Steve I used to use Dial Data for stocks. Their track record for data
accuracy was not good.
Be careful if you are betting the farm you may want to confirm the price
Dial Data gives you.
