Andrew - thanks for the reply. The repeating entry
signal is indeed causing problems. Would you know how to overcome this? Thanks,
David

Assuming you are trying to avoid using PREV, you can
experiment with the
Alert() function. Alert(EntrySignal,Bars) will hold true
for the specified
number of bars after the entry signal.
However, the
coding can get trickier if there are other exits involved or if
the entry
signal can repeat before an exit can occur. I am working on a time
stop
coding which will ignore a repeated entry. It's easy with PREV,
tougher
without.

Subject: [Metastockusers] Fixed
period exit
I have been trying, mainly with the Barssince
function, to code a
system exit at a fixed period, say 5 days, after entry,
with no
success. i had hoped that - BarsSince( "entrycondition" >=5) - as
the
exit would work, but it doesn't. Can anyone please help? many thanks,
David.
