<DIV><FONT size=2>Better: Why use heavy sturdy complex Outlook(former more
sturdy+more complex Exchange)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>
when you can have Outlook Express, </FONT>a fluent direct no-nonsense,
no-error-ed, FREE mailer and HTML Editor?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Outlook will only be used in Offices. For home use it is too large, too
cumbersome and far too sturdy.</DIV>
<DIV>But even at an Office I will refrain from using Outlook. Simply,
because it cannot handle messages, let alone emails and</DIV>
<DIV>their layouts properly, eg email's layouts will be shown mutulated and
cripled (even the old and boring plain Text messages).</DIV>
<DIV>Exchange was the first program I had DELETED from my machine. And at work
it only works as a simple PopUp progarm.</DIV>
<DIV>Even its Address book is a drag to work with,and all that accounts for the
Outlook97 program too.(Don't know 'bout the 2K,
tho), </DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT color=#0000ff><STRONG>Tip-3</STRONG></FONT>. How to
activate / deactivate a user-definable-feature's option box / button (the
control) ? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT></FONT></FONT><FONT size=2> </DIV></DIV></FONT>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I only 'throw this in' as an example, eg as to how to get a
control that's inactive(greyed out), active again.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>(this is common procedure throughout pc
programs):</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT
size=2>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Basicaly, when Running MSK with an EMPTY Startup
window and clicking the on WorkMenu available</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Tools|Options... Function, </FONT><FONT size=2>than on the
Option window's Chart Options TAB both the Show ALL Chart Title
Bars</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>and Show ALL Chart Toolbars </FONT><FONT size=2>controls
are</FONT> <FONT size=2>inactive(greyed), this since
an underlaying object(eg a chart)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>is not active(Open).</DIV></FONT>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Now Open a Chart/Layout and than go back to Tools|Options and
the Chart Options TAB, and</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>notice that now </FONT><FONT size=2>the SACTB and SALCB
controls are activated, and you are now also able
to check</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>or uncheck these controls.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Now relating the above working theory to the below
mentioned (in MSK v70-Pro newly present)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT color=#0000ff>Allow e-mail alerts box
</FONT></FONT><FONT size=2>(=control) than at least an underlaying
object(Chart/Layout) </FONT><FONT size=2>too will have</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>to be active(Open). And then when Chart/Layout is
active(Open), the control to be activated as well,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>giving you the option to uncheck control (Turn it
OFF).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Cumbersome? Yep! Programmers could have tested this upfront.
However, it is again one other</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>addition to the many FAQ's </FONT><FONT size=2>set of
questions on MetaStock issue's that aren't explained
anywhere,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>and computerwise are logic, but when you think of
it is unlogic </FONT><FONT size=2>in daily program usage.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Therefore, Equis Programmers, for the program's standard
factory settings (on installation of program)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>have </FONT><FONT size=2>this Allow Email Alerts control
STANDARD turned OFF.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> </DIV></FONT>
<DIV><FONT size=2>If somebody then wants to use this functionality, let him/her
search for the Alerts section, eg a feature</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>that o</FONT><FONT size=2>ught </FONT><FONT size=2>to
be added to the MetaStock manual's The Workplace section, a
section that ought to be</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>devoted to the thousand's of Option TABs that are scattered
around the program. And while at it, why</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>not bring these thousands of TABs back to
normal, for example to the in Windows & Office
programs</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>commonly available </FONT><FONT size=2>"one
single windowed" (multiple TABed) Options Function and thus to
the extend</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>that the user's Standard Program Options only needed to be set
in a ONE SINGLE WINDOWED Option</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>window, which is quite common in Windows 9x
compatible programs.</DIV></FONT>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The inefficient multi windowed Option windows, stemming
from the old Windows 3.11-days, are way over</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>by
now. </DIV></FONT>

Manuel,
Ok, now I think I know what you mean. What you have is an indicator more so
than a test. There is no defined entry condition in the traditional sense, just
an indicator with optimization variables. The tester is doing the best it can
with the information you have given it. On the first bar that enough data is
available to plot the indicator, the tester views this as a true condition,
therefore it plots an arrow.
Try the following indicator. It's what you sent; I have just substituted the
opt vars. Plot this code as an indicator on the chart. Then run this code as
an "Enter Long" system test.You'll see that the arrow appears on the same bar
that the indicator is first plotted on. Now change the 6 and 10 values to some
other values and you will see that same thing happens over and over. When you
use the opt vars, the first opt var combination that the tester plugs in is when
the arrow will appear. There is not a defined exit condition, so the tester I
guess is waiting for the indicator to stop plotting, which isn't going to
happen, therefore there is only the one buy arrow. As for what goes on when you
plot the indicator in both the enter Long AND Enter Short and you get an arrow
on each bar, I guess it is just reading "true" for each bar which causes a
reversal signal on each bar.
That's my take on it anyway. You get what you pay for.<g>
Mov((Sum((CLOSE -OPEN) >0,6)/
(Sum((CLOSE -OPEN) >0,3)+
Sum((CLOSE -OPEN) <0,3)))*100,10,S)
