Re: [Metastockusers] Finding threshold value for an indicator



PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links

You can use the System Tester to find that :

In BUY ORDER :

RSI(14)>70


You use an Inactivity STOP :
Inactivity minimum change :  Positions : LONG
METHOD : POINTS
Parameters :  Minimum change : 999
Periods :   0

In the simulation, at SYSTEM TESTING OPTIONS, you click on MORE and on 
the TRADE EXECUTION FOLDER, you uncheck REALISTIC MARKET PRICES and 
enter DELAY BARS OPENING : 0.

You complete the simulation and the number of trades is the number of 
days where RSI(14) > 70.
