Roy,
Thanks. I was using the "Ref" in my indicator but didn't think about incrementing both sides of the expression.
 
I am still having an issue with MS not picking up as many "entry" signals as there should be for a given period. I determined how many "entry" signals there should be by visually looking at a chart with the indicator applied. Do I need to somehow initialize the System Test before running it?
 
Thanks again, Scott

Hi Scott


One way to achieve what you want is to modify your entry and exit code to the following form.

Ref("my signal",-1);

Disable any strategic or other type of delays within the system or simulation windows, disable
"Realistic" prices, and set the simulation entry and exit prices to OPEN.

I discussed ways of implementing delays in more detail in the December issue of MSTT.


Kind regards
