Hello,
I assume that you want to create a system test....................?
There is a dirty workaround that you can try which, unfortunately, makes
use of the dreaded forward reference. The idea is to shunt your entry
signal forward a day thereby 'tricking' Metastock into thinking that
yesterday's bar is today's.
So, let's say that you wanted to test a classic swing entry; after three
lower highs, buy when price rises above yesterday's high at yesterday's
high:
Ref(
(Ref(H,-3) <= Ref(H,-4) AND
Ref(H,-2) <= Ref(H,-3) AND
Ref(H,-1) <= Ref(H,-2))
AND
Mov(C,20,E) > Mov(C,50,E)
AND
H > Ref(H,-1)
,+1)
Set the entry price to high and the delay to zero. You will find that the
buy signals on the chart are printed on 'yesterdays' bar but for the
purposes of the equity curve, you are entering the trade at yesterday's
high with today's bar being the entry signal. Change it to the close for
your own purposes.
I hope that helps.
Regards,
Kevin

Hi, I wanted to program buy and sell signals
such buy at yesterday close
price on today's bar using only EOD.
However MS only allow signals using OHLC and only occur on the
following
day. This pose a contraint. I had search the forum and googled but
no
potential results. Anyone can circumvent this problem in
programming?
Thanks.
