If I set a system test protfolio bias to multiple and select 1 as the limit of the number of simultaneous positions, I expect metastock to only ever do one trade at a time, and only to look for a new buy or sell short when the previous trade has been closed. Metastock kind of does this by waiting for a trade to close, but I have a problem in that if we exit on one bar, metastock immidiately would enter on the same bar at an illogical price. Now I know I can set the test to delay entry by a bar, but I do not want that, I want to enter on the trigger bars themselves, but NOT if I exited an existing position on the same day. By the way I use stops, so if I exit a buy for example at a price of 10, the system test for example would see we exited and then trigger a sell if relevant at 12 maybe which is not logical, we should not be looking for sell shorts if we were still in a buy. By all means if my sell short stop was triggered lower than my sell exit stop that would have been fine. Anyone come across this and how did you get around it? Thanks Gerrit
