Michel,
You're not the only one who needs a system tester that allows entry/exit
at
specified prices.
i.e. Entry at Open+ 50% of previous days range. I've given up using the
MS
System Tester - it seems a pretty basic limitation.
I've had to look at writing an indicator coupled with an Expert Advisor
Commentary for each test. The Commentary provides the final summation
i.e.
#wins/losses, profit for the period by accessing variables in the
indicator.
Plotting the indicator gives you an equity line. Not perfected yet but I
think I'm getting there.
Anyone else conquered this deficiency?
Thanks,
Sean
