<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Paula,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I accept your apology. The system was
offered to everyone on this forum and anyone who asked kindly. I gave
out rules, regs, and formulas to all non-weiners & non-whiners.
I've conducted eight seminars in the past two weeks in Vancouver, Seattle,
SF and San Jose. The seminars were all "free". And again, the
information was disseminated for free. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Many seminar attendees have informed me that
the seminar "changed their trading approach". Kudos continue to roll
in. I was supported in the field by six Equis employees and many of
them are now using my "signature" approach to trade their portfolios in the
equities markets. In fact, Equis modeled my presentation
and used it in an additional 16 seminars during the last few weeks.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am a self promoting, entrepreneurial,
sarcastic, system designing, trader who appreciates equity. I've given
a "whole bunch" over the years. Reviewing your contributions during
the past year reveals that you are on the "demand" side of the forum
and not the "supply" side. Paula, if you can name one of your
contributions (to the list) or supply the forum with some knowledge that
will help anyone trade in the future...I will consider supplying you with
this "free" information. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I guess as soon as I start charging (the big
bucks), folks like you will line up. "If the seminar cost 5k, it
must me great". Why don't you wait for my $495 MetaStock add-on
package. It will be out soon and you can have the distinction
of purchasing the first "box". </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Again, thanks for the apology...at least you
realize that something might have slipped by your critical eyes. Many
of my "content" posts are public at Daryl Guppy's site. Also, Paritech
(the Austrailian trainning company) will be using my approach in twelve
training sessions, in July and August, in the western states.
And, I'll be on the road this fall with FREE seminars in the southeast
(North and South Carolina). Current password holders, at my site, will
enjoy a nice "free ride" when recommendations become "pay-for-view" (within
the month). During the past three years, many people (on this forum)
have contributed to my overall efforts and these folks will be rewarded
handsomely during the next few months. I'll be waiting for your next
contribution (criticism).</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi: </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I am missing the point of
these types of messages to the group. If you are going to post these types
of results from some seminar then why don't you give all everyone on the
Metastock list the same systems extended in the seminar. Perhaps many
members of the group have not had seminars in their area etc and could not
avail themselves of your services.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> If there is a fee for these
systems then tell people you are charging for this,but don't just throw it
up there and let people flounder.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I just returned from a very
costly but worthwhile seminar where proprietary trading info was
given. The trader giving the seminar made us pay for this info and has
left it at that.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Either tell people results,offer
them the info or give them the option to pay for the systems or don't
bother. Just my opinion on this type of list to the group. If I have
missed posting of the systems I apologize,If not...</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Good luck next week. I'm off to
Montana to enjoy some fresh water fishing, sailing, and boating.
Lake Flathead is the largest body of freshwater west of the

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>"On June 17, 2000 I attended the MetaStock

Trading has issued a "Slow MO" buying signal this morning (for the
Sept. S&P) and filled opening orders in the 1456.5 - 1456.75
range. This approach is "used by and accounted for" in many
trading accounts and is currently riding a nine trade winning
streak. </SPAN></FONT><FONT color=black><SPAN

Joe, you're correct that System Tester only permits entry and exit on the
open or close (actually high and low, too, but that's not realistic). Would
you expand on your volatility breakout entry's parameters, please? I think
its coding is quite feasible.
As far as referencing the entry price, for exits I use variations of the
following code (from a posting of mine in January). Referencing the entry
date could be achieved with BarsSince(EntryPrice > 0) where EntryPrice
is defined below.
Hope this helps.
_______________________________________________________
As people have mentioned before, it is difficult to design exits in
MetaStock because of the awkwardness of defining your trade entry price.
One exit system that requires your trade entry price is the channel exit.
For those not familiar with it, the channel exit is quite a straight forward
trailing stop. Once you're in a trade (let's say, long), you maintain your
stops at the lowest low of the past number of days (optimized, in the code
below) until you are taken out of the market. This method attempts to let
profits run in the direction of the trend, but takes you out when price
makes a significant reversal and you risk giving back profits on a
retracement or the end of the trend.
Below is the code for a channel exit. It also includes a money management
stop to limit losses to an acceptable level until the channel exit exceeds
it. Work on variations of this basic theme, such as moving the stop up
faster where the market makes rapid gains and your lowest low in, say, 10 or
20 days is just too far away to adequately protect profits.
{LONG EXIT}
LongEntry:= {this your entry system, eg. Cross(CLOSE, Mov(C,20,E))};
MoneyMgmtStop:= {this is your maximum loss, in points};
{DEFINE ENTRY PRICE, WITH EXIT BEING -ENTRY PRICE AND NO TRADE BEING 0}
EntryPrice:= If(PREV <= 0,
{Trade entered today?}
If(LongEntry, CLOSE, 0),
{Trade entered before today. Stopped today?}
If(LOW <= Max(PREV - MoneyMgmtStop, Ref(LLV(LOW,opt1),-1)), -PREV,
PREV));
{EXIT IF ENTRY PRICE < 0 (MEANING EXIT)}
EntryPrice < 0
{SHORT EXIT}
ShortEntry:= {this your entry system, eg. Cross(Mov(C,20,E), CLOSE)};
MoneyMgmtStop:= {this is your maximum loss, in points};
{DEFINE ENTRY PRICE, WITH EXIT BEING -ENTRY PRICE AND NO TRADE BEING 0}
EntryPrice:= If(PREV <= 0,
{Trade entered today?}
If(ShortEntry, CLOSE, 0),
{Trade entered before today.Stopped today?}
If(HIGH >= Min(PREV + MoneyMgmtStop, Ref(HHV(HIGH,opt1),-1)), -PREV,
PREV));
{EXIT IF ENTRY PRICE < 0 (MEANING EXIT)}
EntryPrice < 0
