Ed!
Perhaps you can use a comparative BarsSince(), i.e. BarsSince(x) vs.
BarsSince(y) but I don't find your question too clear. Please rephrase your
question?
Best regards,

Subject: Multiple buy signals
I am trying to develop a buy signal that buys the stock on a Monday whenever
I do not own the stock with a trailing stop based on the high of the day. I
can get the test to run but because I cannot distinguish between the Monday
that I bought and the next Monday it is hard to determine the maximum high
during the purchase period.
I have tried the "highest since" function but because the buy signal is a
Monday, every Monday during the trade restarts the calculation of the
highest high. Any one have any ideas on how to get around this.
Again,
My long formula is: dayofweek()=1
I want my exit formula to be a percentage trailing stop of the highest high
during the trade. I would use the stop portion of the system test but I
cannot optimize the percentage. The system test has only a fixed percentage
trailing stop.
exit formula: highest high during trade * (1-opt1)
thanks in advance,
Ed Middleton
