I am 
new to Version 8 also, but just in case you haven't done so, just check that 
when you go into Edit mode for your System that the General Tab is checked and 
that under Portfolio Bias you check Multiple, otherwise if you have 
multi-positions the system will close your previous open positions when a 
current position changes the current bias to short or long. Clear as mud? Good 
luck.

  [EquisMetaStock Group] System test "bias change" 
  problemI'm a new MetaStock Pro 8.0 user, and new to 
  the forum.I'm having a problem with a number of system tests.  
  From eyeballing the chart and indicators, and from the trade arrows 
  plotted on the chart by the simulation, I can see trades which should be 
  profitable.  However, the system tests are all 
  unprofitable.  When I look at the "Orders" report, I see that a 
  number of orders are considered and placed by the simulation, but then 
  cancelled due to "bias change".  So, although there's a buy or sell 
  arrow on the chart, the order was not executed.  It fails to enter 
  some profitable trades, or fails to exit trades leaving a position open to 
  start losing money.Can't find any reference to "bias change" or order 
  cancellation in the documentation or FAQ's.  It's got to be some 
  setting I have incorrect.  Any guidance?Thank 
  you.GaryTo
