Bob,
I don't know of any way to automate it since if you set a value like
SigC based on a metastock buy signal it will reset every time the condition
is met which can happen several times before you get a sell signal.
However, you can set a condition like
SigC:= xxxx;
in your formula. Then you would have to manually substitute the value of
the close on the date you get the signal. That means you have to remember
to do it and won't be able to do any meaningful back testing, so it's not a
very good work around.
