I use the system tester only as a rough guide. There have been many
complaints about it in the past on Metastock related newsgroups.
Your system would be simpler and would work better if you used a price
oscillator: and buy when the oscillator was crossed above zero and sell when
it crossed below zero.
The items I highlighted in red may be confusing the system tester.

Subject: [EquisMetaStock Group] System Tester
I've used the very simple MA system below on The FTSE 100 and the S+P
and neither produces the results one would expect from looking at the
graph with the MA's plotted (I think the S+P got just one signal over
20 years). When I tried all the systems supplied with Metastock V 9.0
I had a similar result:very few trades generated. I know that the
system tester isn't very good, but is it really that bad?
