Jimmy:
As Howard correctly stated High[1] is the day before "High." I assumed you
knew this. On my TS4 stocks are plotted in .000's. Therefore, a 1/4 is 250
"points." To buy at a 1/4 above the previous High:
IF buy criteria then buy High[1] + 250 point stop;
an 1/8
IF buy criteria then buy High[1] + 125 point stop;
and so on.
Still have a ways to go on my first cup of coffee so take it with a grain of
salt.
