My experience with the Enhanced System Tester is so limited that I can't be sure that the result you
want can be achieved even when your code and settings are correct. This is not to say that the EST
is not up to the job, but that I'm not up to making such a judgement.
Until recently nearly all of my testing has been done with my own Trade Equity tools, and with them
I know exactly how to code my entries and exits, and I also know that TE will deliver on my
intentions without fudging intended actions or results. If I want to simulate a "Realistic Market
Price" I code the entry price to be one or two price points above the trigger price.
I really don't know how the EST responds to different situations so I'm reluctant to give advice or
suggest specific coding solutions when I'm in the same boat as you.

Roy,
I have a similar question to ask, I want a buy signal trigger by today if yesterday close is higher
than the day before yesterday
i.e. close>ref(close,-1)
but I want today enter is based on yesterday close add 1% and if today range is falls within the
price then only the enter will trigger
i.e. today price range > ref(close,-1)*1.01
This is what I do :
In Buy Order tab, formula : "close>ref(close,-1)" {without the quote}
In Order Type tab, Limit of Stop Price : "valuewhen(1,ref(close,-1)*1.01,close)" {without the
quote}
System Testing Option : Trade Execution tab : I checked the Realistic Market Price
but when I plot the result on chart, I can't figure out whether my testing is true based on the
concept I had mentioned or not.
Example:
Date : 19/04/04
Open : 2255
High : 2325
Low : 2235
Close : 2310
Date : 20/04/04
Open : 2300
High : 2415
Low : 2285
Close : 2400
Date : 21/04/04
Open : 2405
High : ?
Low : ?
Close : ?
So, if the price rally upto 2400*1.01 = 2424 then I need the system enter price to be 2424.
Can you assist me ?
Thanks In Advance
Desmond

LastValue() is not the function to use. It loads the complete data array with the value of the
last
LOW on a chart. I can't suggest more than to try LOW, or Ref(LOW,-1), or ValueWhen(1,"entry
signal",
LOW) etc., etc.
