There is no easy way with Metastock.
For your entry, either create an indicator for your entry, such as MACross =
Cross(mov(c,18,e), mov(c,33,e)) or enter your entry in the Barssince
function in the exit long tab.
Such as:
For your exit, use the Barssince function = N:
IF(Barssince(Fml("MACross")=N,1,0)
OR
IF(Barssince(Cross(mov(c,18,e), mov(c,33,e))) =N,1,0)
Either should work; I use the indicator approach to minimize clutter.
Good Luck,
Pete
