Hi Ed,
I would suggest that you use the System-tester for this problem.
To stay with your example:
EnterLong: Ref(C,-1) > Mov(C ,20 ,S ) AND L > Ref(H,-1)
Go to Stops, choose Inactivity.
Activate Long under Positions.
Put a big number (for example 10000) in Minimum Change and 3 days for Periods.
Let the test run.
This is not exactly what you want but now you can at least see how many
times it happened in the past by way of the Arrow-symbols.
And the price-range the next three days after the condition occured, is
visible.
Hope this helps,
Frans

Can MetaStock give me statistics on the number of times a particular
condition existed during the last x days/months, along with range of
values/standard deviations of performance after the condition is triggered
(similar to a system, but not quite). For example, condition is; price is
over 20-day moving average and price gapped up higher than yesterday's
high. Now I want to know how many times it happened and the price range
for the next three days after the condition was triggered. By price range,
I mean the highest high, and the lowest low of the next three days (or
variable number of days) compared to the open of the day the condition was
triggered. Better yet, can I get a distribution of the increase in price
vs. the condition day.
I'm pretty sure one can develop this using the metastock language, my
question is, is there some feature/tool withing metastock that would make
this easier to develop. Or does anyone know of a third party tool that can
accomplish this.
Thanks
Ed Montero
