RE: [Metastockusers] Donchian system

I`m interested in this system also, but I only know some basics that may or
maynot be correct.
I believe the Donchian bands are the highest high of the last n-periods and
the lowest lowest low of the last n-periods.
Stops are based upon 2.5 * ATR value , but I`m not quite sure about this. I
think the time period is 20 days and/or 55 days.

I`m new to using metastock 8.0 EOD, but how do I run the system tests so
that a buy signal is executed immediately (ie at a moving average crossover
for example), rather than at a close,open, high or low ? Seems to skew
results.

How do I find a bar that has 2 previous "higher highs and higher lows" ?

I think that Metastock Price Channels are identical to Donchian Channels.
Use the online help as the V 7 manual is incomplete on this.

These price channels and Darvas channels are similar.

Can anyone help me with the MetaStock formula for
the complete Donchian system for trading ?
Any help would be most appreciated.
