Preston,
Thank you very much for your reply!! I apologize for all of
the "rookie" questions but I am new to Metastock and I am trying to
learn.
I pasted the formula that you provided and while looking at the
results generated by the enhanced system tester, it certainly
appears to be what I was looking for but the results are only
generating ONE round trip in a, roughly, 12 month period. Any idea
what would be causing this because during that period, numerous
signals should be generated? I have been studying the formula
language, hoping to interpret it better, but my learning curve is
somewhat steep.
Also, when I pull up a chart of a security, using my custom
indicator, there are a series of upward "spikes" generated of which
I am not sure what they represent. I was hoping the chart would
display all 3 moving averages. Any idea what could be causing this?
Thanks again for leading me in the proper direction and getting me
off to a great start! Peace!
Charles
