[Metastockusers] Re: Help with WriteIF and Expert

["lseldin" <larry@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dusant,

I am having a problem with the code sample from you. Remember, 
my "Enter Long" and "Enter Short" are working as planned. It's 
the "Exit Long" and "Exit Short" that's the problem.

So I'm not sure about your code. Also, your "M:=" is giving me 
problems.

Could you elaborate on how to write the Exit Long?

Thanks much,

- larryTAKOUT@xxxxxxxxxx
