RE: [EquisMetaStock Group] Metastock Fixed Trailing Stop Loss to goalong with Trade Sim?

[Gordon Sutherland <gosuth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I 
wanted to to set a Chandelier Exit in the Enhanced System Tester EOD and 
received the following assistance from Equis Inter'l. Metastock seems to make it 
very hard to establish easily the Position Entry Date. Hope the undermentioned 
doesn't add to the confusion.

Sir,   
you will have to use the valuewhen function. 
It would look like : <FONT face=Arial

Valuewhen(1,BC,H) <FONT face=Arial

  Best

Hi,   
My Customer Number is: 70395. <FONT 
face=Arial size=2>  I am running 
MetaStock 8.01 EOD. I would like to write a rule that will trigger an exit in 
the Enhanced System Tester if the Close falls below say 3 *  ATR(7) from 
the High since entry of the trade. I can't see a Simulation function that will 
give me the Position High Price. Is it possible for you to help me with this, I 
am hoping to use it in a TA Society presentation later this week and to provide 
the hard code rather than just the concept of a "Chandelier Exit" would add 
credibility.
TIA.

  [EquisMetaStock Group] Metastock Fixed Trailing Stop Loss to go along with 
  Trade Sim?Does anyone here know how to set up a fixed 
  trailing stop loss in ametastock exploration (8.0 End of Day) that will 
  work with trade Sim?I've found a formula on the net but not being a 
  programmer don'treally understand it or how to work it into a set up so 
  that it workswith Trade SimIf(cum(1)=1,{then} Close,{else} 
  If((C*1.1) <= PREV,{then}(C*1.1),{else} PREV)); I'm using 
  two triggers.  But I've got no idea of how a fixed trailingstop loss 
  would be set up.  Perhaps as a trailing band (similar to 
  thevolatility and standard diviation stops) so the "volatility" for 
  theband could be the fixed trailing stop loss forumula?  I 
  would imagine the set up might work as below but if anyone knows forsure, 
  has done a fixed trailing stop, I'd love to know how you did 
  it.Trigger1:= (trade system exit conditions);Volatility:= 
  (trailing stop loss 
  formula?);BandLong:=ExtFml("TradeSim.TrailingStop",Trigger,Long,Volatility,CLOSE,ExitTrigger:= 
  Trigger1 or Trigger2To
