Thanks Gordon.  From the last time I used it, my v8 has some bug and
it won't find the vendor eSignal.  So, I'm back using my v7. 
That's working fine for now.  I just need to get as much programming
practice as possible so that I can backtest some trading systems.

Bodaire,




I
have version 8.01 EOD.



There
is a set of special functions in the Enhanced System Tester that are used
for the purpose you query. Whilst you are in the System Tester and in a
formula window then click on the button named “Functions…” and you will
find a function category named “Simulation” you need to choose one of these
to lock-into the buy point of your system. I don’t use Enhanced System
Tester for testing anymore so I can’t be of much additional help. Good
luck!

[Metastockusers] A Moving Target



How
do I nail down a price in MS?
If I use Ref(H,-3), I get
the high from 3 days
ago.  If I buy at $1
above that and get out when
I've made $3, what would
the coding look like.
Even if I give the entry
price a name
BuyPrice:=Ref(H,-3)+1, the
BuyPrice still moves as
I move from bar to bar. 
How do I set it as a
constant from the time of
buy/entry?
