Chellester,
Do you have 8.0? The following is from the help file of MS 8.0 and
describe the Simulation functions and sound like they may be useful to
you:
These functions let you use values that occur in a system test
simulation to determine rules for buying and selling. For example, if
you want the simulation to place a Sell Order when the equity dips below
5,000, you could write:
if(Simulation.AccountCash < 5000,1,0)
Note that these functions only work in the Buy Order, Sell Order, Sell
Short Order and Buy to Cover Order rules in the Enhanced System Tester
Dialog. Also, the CurrentPosition simulation functions only work in the
Sell Order and Buy to Cover rules.
For explanations of what each simulation represents, check the Show
English Names box at the bottom of the Paste Functions dialog. Five of
the "english" names are too long to completely display in MetaStock.
They're listed below.
Simulation.CurrentPositionPerformance The closing performance of the
current position in Sell and Buy to Cover formulas. Closing performance
assumes a market order and does incorporate commission costs.
Simulation.CurrentPositionValue The closing value of the current
position in Sell and Buy to Cover formulas. Closing value assumes a
market order and does incorporate commission costs.
Simulation.CurrentPositionProfit The closing profit of the
current position in Sell and Buy to Cover formulas. Closing profit
assumes a market order and does incorporate commission costs.
Simulation.PortfolioHighestProfit The highest summary market value
of the portfolio to date. Commissions are incorporated into the
calculation.
Simulation.PortfolioLowestProfit The lowest summary market value
of the portfolio to date. Commissions are incorporated into the
calculation.

Subject: [EquisMetaStock Group] equity line in test
Ok, everyone was great last time I asked a question, so I'm hoping
you can help me with this as well.
What I'm wanting to do now is as part of my system test, create a
formula that includes the equity line as part of the test. So that
for example if the 20 day moving average of the equity line is lower
today then it was yesterday, that generates a sell signal in the
test. It's easy enough to drop the moving average indicator onto the
equity line after it's been tested, but even then I can't figure out
how to refer to it, to make it part of the test. It might not be
possible, and even then, might not be viable in real world
situations, but it is something I wanted to try, so any thoughts
would be great.
By the way, thanks Roy for your help on creating formula for selling
after a number of periods, it's been great, and I now understand it,
and have adapted it for other uses.
