I was watching the training to make sure it worked and was not to bad. Let me add that Roy's solution is interresting because it does not use the prev function. Another way of doing the same thing would be to type : Buy:=Your formula; Sell:=Your formula; State:=If(buy,1,If(Sell,-1,PREV)); State; But as you already know using the prev function slows down the calculations and it is better to not use them when possible.

Take a look at the second to last post for the exact setup. http://forum.equis.com/v...hp?t=226&highlight=state Take a look at this formula for an example : {Enter Long} BullTrend:=Cross(Mov(C,5,S),Max(Mov(C,10,S),Mov(C,20,S))); BearTrend:=Cross(Min(Mov(C,10,S),Mov(C,20,S)),Mov(C,5,S)); Trend:=If(BarsSince(Ref(BullTrend,-1))<BarsSince(Ref(BearTrend,-1)),1,-1); EnterLong:=Trend=1 AND Cross(Stoch(14,3),25); ExitLong:=Trend=1 AND Cross(75,Stoch(14,3)); EnterShort:=Trend=-1 AND Cross(75,Stoch(14,3)); ExitShort:=Trend=-1 AND Cross(Stoch(14,3),25); Status:=If(EnterLong,2,If(EnterShort,-2,If(ExitLong,1,If(ExitShort,-1,PREV)))); EL:=Cross(Status,1.5); XL:=Cross(1.5,Status) AND Ref(Status,-1)=2; ES:=Cross(-1.5,Status); XS:=Cross(Status,-1.5) AND Ref(Status,-1)=-2; EL {Exit Long} BullTrend:=Cross(Mov(C,5,S),Max(Mov(C,10,S),Mov(C,20,S))); BearTrend:=Cross(Min(Mov(C,10,S),Mov(C,20,S)),Mov(C,5,S)); Trend:=If(BarsSince(Ref(BullTrend,-1))<BarsSince(Ref(BearTrend,-1)),1,-1); EnterLong:=Trend=1 AND Cross(Stoch(14,3),25); ExitLong:=Trend=1 AND Cross(75,Stoch(14,3)); EnterShort:=Trend=-1 AND Cross(75,Stoch(14,3)); ExitShort:=Trend=-1 AND Cross(Stoch(14,3),25); Status:=If(EnterLong,2,If(EnterShort,-2,If(ExitLong,1,If(ExitShort,-1,PREV)))); EL:=Cross(Status,1.5); XL:=Cross(1.5,Status) AND Ref(Status,-1)=2; ES:=Cross(-1.5,Status); XS:=Cross(Status,-1.5) AND Ref(Status,-1)=-2; XL {Enter Short} BullTrend:=Cross(Mov(C,5,S),Max(Mov(C,10,S),Mov(C,20,S))); BearTrend:=Cross(Min(Mov(C,10,S),Mov(C,20,S)),Mov(C,5,S)); Trend:=If(BarsSince(Ref(BullTrend,-1))<BarsSince(Ref(BearTrend,-1)),1,-1); EnterLong:=Trend=1 AND Cross(Stoch(14,3),25); ExitLong:=Trend=1 AND Cross(75,Stoch(14,3)); EnterShort:=Trend=-1 AND Cross(75,Stoch(14,3)); ExitShort:=Trend=-1 AND Cross(Stoch(14,3),25); Status:=If(EnterLong,2,If(EnterShort,-2,If(ExitLong,1,If(ExitShort,-1,PREV)))); EL:=Cross(Status,1.5); XL:=Cross(1.5,Status) AND Ref(Status,-1)=2; ES:=Cross(-1.5,Status); XS:=Cross(Status,-1.5) AND Ref(Status,-1)=-2; ES {Exit Short} BullTrend:=Cross(Mov(C,5,S),Max(Mov(C,10,S),Mov(C,20,S))); BearTrend:=Cross(Min(Mov(C,10,S),Mov(C,20,S)),Mov(C,5,S)); Trend:=If(BarsSince(Ref(BullTrend,-1))<BarsSince(Ref(BearTrend,-1)),1,-1); EnterLong:=Trend=1 AND Cross(Stoch(14,3),25); ExitLong:=Trend=1 AND Cross(75,Stoch(14,3)); EnterShort:=Trend=-1 AND Cross(75,Stoch(14,3)); ExitShort:=Trend=-1 AND Cross(Stoch(14,3),25); Status:=If(EnterLong,2,If(EnterShort,-2,If(ExitLong,1,If(ExitShort,-1,PREV)))); EL:=Cross(Status,1.5); XL:=Cross(1.5,Status) AND Ref(Status,-1)=2; ES:=Cross(-1.5,Status); XS:=Cross(Status,-1.5) AND Ref(Status,-1)=-2; XS Patrick :mrgreen:

Thanks Patrick for this lesson. This one is a bit complex for me, even though you make the guts of it look simple. Hopefully I'll be able to work my way up to it in the future. :D

sir my lessons are now working as i have downloaded the quicktime player so lessons problem is solved. please reply the other problem. thank u navneet
