Sorry if this is a simple question, but I just got
Metastock last week and I'm having hit and miss success with writing
tests. I have a particular problem with simple exits- like an exit the
same day.
I've tried to write a test of (a simplified)
5/60 intraday indicator- to go long if the close after 60 minutes (i.e. at
10:30am) is greater than the close after 5 minutes (i.e. 9:35am), and short if
the close after 60 is less than after 5 minutes.
The formula I used is obviously way off base, since
my results are so wrong, and I'm embarrassed to show it- but here
goes:
Enter Long: If( C=Minute()=5,C <
C=Minute()=60,C)
Close Long: C
The short formula is similar except for the >
symbol.
The results just alternate trades between long and
short, and the exits are the following day, not the same day.
I'm sure you can see that the formula just
won't work. Help, anyone?
