Out of interest, since I'm just looking at my slippage setting and wondering if
it's too much ($50 per round-turn), what level do you use?

Yes, you're right. But I wasn't using the same setting on both
software. I should have been more clear. The 'both' I was referring to
was two strategies in TS, not both software... but you had no way to
know that. Before I realized what was wrong, I had created two separate
strategies to help me eliminate any errors I might be making.
TS was using comm/slip, while Metastock was using zero.

you should get the same result, no?

vk, I was using the same commisson/slippage (not zero) for both.... as
soon as I changed the amount to zero for both it works like it's
supposed too. Thanks! No telling how long it would have been until I
figured it out. Soooo... in fact it was the dreaded User Error!

Using TS2ki.

I must really be brain dead... at the very least it must be a case of
user error. Can someone tell me what obvious thing I am missing?
If I have a simple system that loses 100k, shouldn't it make a profit
of 100k buy changing the Buy to Sell, and the Sell to a Buy?
This example is a loser on the chart I'm looking at:
if c > average(c,50)
then buy on close;
if c < average(c,50)
then sell on close;
----------
If I reverse the buy and sell signals in TS2k, it still is a loser.
But if I reverse the entry signals in Metastock it is a winner by the
same amount it had previously lost.
What am I doing wrong in TS?
Thanks!
