The Easy Language words Entry,Exit etc.. can be used only if you are coding
a signals.
You can't use them in indicators, paintbar or showme studies.

Okay... I got past the AverageTrueRange word... it should'a been
"AvgTrueRange".
But now it doesn't like the "exitlong" word.  The program says, "this word
not
allowed in study".
Aaarg!
Help.... someone.
I'm going to bed!
Thanks,

Here it is:

{vfac - controls the sensitivity of the system and should generally range
between 1.0 and 3.0
	vmin - minimum volatility (as a % of ATR) to initiate or stay in a trade
	vmax - maximum volatility (as a % of ATR) to initiate or stay in a trade
(end of day system)	}

inputs: vfac(1.5), vmin(0.75), vmax(2.0);
vars: atr(0), blimit(0), slimit(0);
atr=100.0*AvgTrueRange(10)/Close;
if atr<vmin or atr>vmax then begin
exitlong;
exitshort;
end else begin
blimit=(1.0)+0.01*vfac)*Close;
slimit=(1.0)-0.01*vfac)*Close;
buy blimit stop;
sell slimit stop;
end;
