RE: [Metastockusers] Sell 3 days after cross

Thanks a lot, Pierre.

I'll work with your suggestions.

The approach that I've been trying over the past few days is to use the
'barssince' command:  First I provide a condition to *buy* the stock, and
then in the sell box I state that 'barssince' that buy condition was met
was, say, 3 days.

Would both approaches amount to the same thing, or would one of the
approaches be better?

Nicholas

Nicholas,

You select your system, EDIT, STOPS : INACTIVITY.

You check positions : LONGS and/or SHORTS for your system Method :PERCENT
Parameters : Minimum change : 99 Periods : 3  (if you want to close after 3
days)

So if your stock haven't moved of at least 99 % percent in 3 days, your
position will be closed.

Pierre
