Long term SAR system

Here is code for a long term trend following system.   Plot weekly bars,
look to buy or sell at the most recent high or low that has not been
exceeded for at least 2 weeks.  I *think* the code is correct, but then
that's me talking.  Results for Bonds since 83 are below.  Haven't tested it
on anything else. Trade at your own risk. -David

Vars: RefHigh(0), RefLow(0);

If PivotHighVS(1, High, 1, 2, 20) <> -1 Then Begin
 Condition1 = True;
 RefHigh = PivotHighVS(1, High, 1, 2, 20);
End;

If PivotLowVS(1, Low, 1, 2, 20) <> -1 Then Begin
 Condition2 = True;
 RefLow = PivotLowVS(1, Low, 1, 2, 20);
End;

If MarketPosition = 1 Then
 Condition1 = False;

If MarketPosition = -1 Then
 Condition2 = False;

If Condition1 Then
 Buy at RefHigh Stop;

If Condition2 Then
 Sell at RefLow Stop;
