Joe J.,
I didn't mean to sound like I was jumping on Equis, I was just
repeating what they told me about a flaw in 8.0. If they are telling
me that they are aware of a flaw, then there must be a flaw
somewhere. The rep I talked with didn't sound too knowledgeable,
though.
Since your CCI system test worked, then it must be my settings. With
my current settings, sometimes I get a reversal on the same bar, and
sometimes I only get an exit. I have the same formula as "Sell"
and "Enter Short", and the same formula as "Buy" and "Cover Short". I
have "Both" checked also, allowing longs and shorts. I have to allow
multiple positions (2) in order to get even a few reversals. But,
allowing multiple positions also will give me 2 or 3 buy orders in a
row, adding to my current position - which isn't what I want.
I appreciate your willingness to help. Can you reply again, including
all your settings for the CCI test? I would give you mine now, but I
am not at my MetaStock computer. Could the problem be my Margin
settings?
