[EquisMetaStock Group] Re: Stop loss

The stop-loss situation is going from bad to worse.  I'm now certain 
that the problem is not with the stop-loss, but due to the fact that 
I'm not using the System Tester properly.  I'd be grateful if anyone 
can point out where I'm going wrong (anyone who's not getting bored 
with this thread).

Here's what I've done.

Anything in the "Formula" box works in any of the tabs.

Any entry in the "Limit or Stop Price" box for any of the tabs is 
ignored.  For the simplest possible example, if I try to buy using 
nothing in the "Formula" box, and "H" as a "Limit" in the stop box, 
there are never any trades.  (The positive feature is that I make 
4.68% profit on each stock that I don't trade.  I must be doing 
something right.)

Please advise.

Regards,
Alan
