Chris,
Hope it helps. I post this question quite some
weeks here before and getting this answer from someone else. If you plot it into
chart, you should have see the buy and sell arrow is falls on the same day.
Happy Trading :)
Desmond

Re:Trading Day of the week
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--- In
