Exittrigger:=H>REF(Mov(C,100,S),-1);
Exitprice:=REF(Mov(C,100,S),-1);
Want to exit with price on REF(Mov(C,100,S),-1);
The exitprice on the trades have no problem but putting on an extra exit on 60 bars, the trades exiting on 60 bars have exit price on the high of the bar rather on the close
How to adjust to allow those trades exiting on 60 bars to exit on the close using tradesim?

It's not clear what "60 bars" has to do with your code...I'd think ExitPrice would have to be OHLC or the HL range, rather than an MA.

60 bar is another exit and want the exit to be on close but why tradesim use high rather the close?

If you are using a trailing stop, usually the High is used when Short, and the Low when Long.
Otherwise, without seeing the code, I have no idea.

StoH:=Fml("stoH")
EntryTrigger := Cross(C,stoH);
EntryPrice := C;
ExitTrigger := H>Ref(Mov(H,100,S),-1);
ExitPrice :=Ref(Mov(H,100,S),-1);
ActualExitPrice :=If(ExitPrice<O,O,ExitPrice);
ExtFml( "TradeSim.Initialize");
ExtFml( "TradeSim.EnableProtectiveStop",0);
ExtFml( "TradeSim.EnablePriceFilter");
ExtFml( "TradeSim.SetTimStop",60);
Those trades exit without exittrigger are on H rather on C

Well, first off, I don't see "RecordTrades", which is where you'd specify the ExitPrice.
Second, merely because you WANT for the ExitPrice to be yesterday's moving average of the High price, does NOT mean the price hit that number -- in fact, it would not happen very often! Plot that 100 MA on the chart and have a look for yourself.
I'd guess you've set ExitPrice above the High price, which is invalid, so it uses the High price instead.

Flexi -- You might play with this, and see if it does what you want (exit on close), then modify as needed, one item at a time:
{ Entry/Exit on CLOSE }
ExtFml("TradeSim.Initialize");
ExtFml("TradeSim.EnableProtectiveStop",0);
ExtFml("TradeSim.EnablePriceFilter");
ExtFml("TradeSim.SetTimeStop",20);
FastD:=Fml("_Stochastic");
EntryTrig:=Cross(FastD,20);
ExitTrig:=Cross(80,FastD);
ExitTrig:=0; { OVERRIDE TO TEST TIME STOP }
ExtFml("TradeSim.RecordTrades",
"_Test",
LONG,
EntryTrig,
CLOSE, { Entry Price }
OPEN-(OPEN*.10), { 10% Initial Stop }
ExitTrig,
CLOSE, { Exit Price }
START);

Try using this as your "ExitPrice" code:-
ExitPrice :=If(ExitTrigger,Ref(Mov(H,100,S),-1),C);

oz -- Won't that just result in a bunch of "invalid price data" warnings, since ExitPrice won't be in the range of Low-to-High?

Hi Johnathan,
"The exitprice on the trades have no problem but putting on an extra exit on 60 bars, the trades exiting on 60 bars have exit price on the high of the bar rather on the close
How to adjust to allow those trades exiting on 60 bars to exit on the close using tradesim?"
Above is the original question which Flexi posted so I was only concentrating on providing a solution which forces TradeSim to use the closing price in all other circumstances.
I believe that the ExitTrigger shown is only for example purposes as it could be applicable on the day the Buy signal was triggered!
To avoid using invalid data I use the following code:-
ExtFml("TradeSim.DisablePriceFilter");
ExtFml("TradeSim.ShowRejectedTradeDetails");
Cheers
oz
