RE: Metastock - System tester question

Thanks.  Fantastic returns for the tests in the report, that weren't
invalid.  A strange thing happened with the arrows, they showed up as large
green "O"s & large red "Y"s, in close succession, a Y followed 1-2 bars
later by an O, paired like this at intervals of several weeks. Couldn't find
a way to change them.  Also, I'm not sure how to apply the system to get
entry alerts.
Thanks again for any further input.
