Peter
and Roy,
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

Thank
you both for your great inputs. Not having a programmer's logic I do struggle
with having to build code if the functions are not available in the application.
So, when I receive help to find a solution it is like opening up Aladdin's
cave!
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

Roy, I
am tied-up for next day or so but I will get my head around the two
methodologies and see if I can make it work for me and perhaps I can come back
if I need clarification.

Also check Roy Larsen's comments regarding use of
a PREV latch. I don't use the PREV latch because of the speed issues, but it
will depend on the size of the database, and your requirements for
accuracy.

<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

it out. I must admit that I have not tried to use the code Equis supplied as
of yet.

I think the formula that Equis gave you will
get you just the high of the entry day.
For a trailing chandelier, that is,
updated with each new high, you probably want:
ARC=3; {for example}
BC={Buy Condition};
C<=HighestSince(1, BC, H) -
ARC*atr(7);

<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>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, <FONT face=Arial
size=2> you will have to use
the valuewhen function. It would look
like : <FONT

size=2>Valuewhen(1,BC,H) <FONT face=Arial

Hi, <FONT face=Arial
size=2> 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.
<FONT face=Arial

equismetastock@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxSubject: [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
