Easiest to do using a TradeSim formula call -
ExtFml("TradeSim.SetTimeStop", {periods});

Look in the TradeSim manual for details.

Subject: [EquisMetaStock Group] Time based stop


I'm currently building a shorting system in MetaStock with subsequent 
testing undertaken in TradeSim. I would like to know (as a newbie) if 
I can have a time based exit built in as a second exit strategy if the 
first exit is not hit and the trade is left open for a long period of 
time. This is convent for mimicking the time constraint on CDF's for 
testing purposes. I'm assuming I can place the time based exit in the 
brackets {} below.

ExitTrigger := CLOSE<= Cross(H,Ref(HHV(H,7),-1))  OR {exit if 118 days 
have passed since the entry trigger};

Any suggestions

Regards Graeme
