Hello there - curious if you have found any additional information
on this problem. I personally am looking for a way to tell the
system tester in MS to recognize the day a trade is entered, as
opposed to the day the most recent signal ocurred (since many buy
signals can occur even after a trade is entered), for the purpose of
triggering the 1st day of calculation of the trailing stop. I have
not tried it yet, but "Trader Nexus" Advanced Trailing Stop may
provide an excellent solution. Have you / anyone tried this
particular solution, or have you found any else that seem to work?
(particularly with regard to when a system has more than one entry
signal.)
thank you.
