Desmond,
Thanks, I will try the settings you suggest. The problem seems to be
the trade is exiting before the sell condition is triggered. It may
have to do with the 10 perent max stop I set and the money management
rules set with the margin requirements settings. So soon as the buy
condition is met, the system buys and the System tester exits the
trade immediatly. This is causing big draw downs in equity and the
system sell condition is not causing the trade exit.
My buy condition is true or false and the sell condition generates a
true or false. When I add both indicators to the chart, they do not
correspond with what the system tester generates.
Thanks,
Chris
