Thanks Roy for the reply.
I'm using ver 7.2. After the 3rd glass of Merlot, I figured out
formula #1. Which was simply selecting open or close under options
and entering enter long: dayofweek()=1 and close long, dayofweek()=4
of which pertains to the current week.
What I am trying to figure out for formula #2 was how can I have it
look back to last week. For ex:
If the close on Monday,or what day I choose, is higher than the
highest high of all of last week then enter long. Using
dayofweek)=-1,-5 doesn't work.
I starting to run out of Merlot.
