Hi, I´m trying to program a close signal saying something like:" If close price is XX pips lower than highest quote since open signal, then Close". I have read the help file and almost every function and still dont see it. Any idea anyone? Thank you Teo

Thanks Patrick. At least I know I was going the right way. I have been trying exactly what you propose, but still dont get the results I expect. Im missing something else. I need to get deep into MS programming language. Any book or documentation that you can recommend? Thanks again Teo

Post the code you came up with so far an explain why it does not work for you ... As far as documents, the formula primer is the only thing I can think of. Patrick :mrgreen:

OK. I´m back. Here´s the code. And if you don´t mind, I will make a couple of questions more. First, the formula: Dema(C,10)> Dema(C,20)AND Ref(Dema(C,10),-1)< Ref(Dema(C,20),-1) OR C<LowestSince(1,Ref(Dema(C,10),-1)< Ref(Dema(C,20),-1)AND Ref(Dema(C,10),-2)> Ref(Dema(C,20),-2),C)+0.030 Close signals would be exactly the same, only oposites signs. Therefore: Always open. What I am really trying: Buy if short Dema is above long Dema OR if Close price is 0.030 (30 pips for EUR/USD) lower than thew highest price since open position. Exactly the opposite for Short positions. I´ll leave the other question for later, Thanks in advance,

Try : {Long} 1BCD:=Dema(C,10)> Dema(C,20)AND Ref(Dema(C,10),-1)< Ref(Dema(C,20),-1); 2BCD:=C<LowestSince(1,Ref(Dema(C,10),-1)< Ref(Dema(C,20),-1)AND Ref(Dema(C,10),-2)> Ref(Dema(C,20),-2),C)+0.030; 1SCD:=Dema(C,10)<Dema(C,20) AND Ref(Dema(C,10),-1)>Ref(Dema(C,20),-1); 2SCD:=C>HighestSince(1,Ref(Dema(C,10),-1)>Ref(Dema(C,20),-1)AND Ref(Dema(C,10),-2)<Ref(Dema(C,20),-2),C)-0.030; LE:=1BCD or 2BCD; LX:=0; SE:=1SCD or 2SCD; SX:=0; B:= ExtFml("ForumDll.Latch",LE,LX,SE,SX); B = 1 AND Ref(B,-1) <> 1 {Short} 1BCD:=Dema(C,10)> Dema(C,20)AND Ref(Dema(C,10),-1)< Ref(Dema(C,20),-1); 2BCD:=C<LowestSince(1,Ref(Dema(C,10),-1)< Ref(Dema(C,20),-1)AND Ref(Dema(C,10),-2)> Ref(Dema(C,20),-2),C)+0.030; 1SCD:=Dema(C,10)<Dema(C,20) AND Ref(Dema(C,10),-1)>Ref(Dema(C,20),-1); 2SCD:=C>HighestSince(1,Ref(Dema(C,10),-1)>Ref(Dema(C,20),-1)AND Ref(Dema(C,10),-2)<Ref(Dema(C,20),-2),C)-0.030; LE:=1BCD or 2BCD; LX:=0; SE:=1SCD or 2SCD; SX:=0; B:= ExtFml("ForumDll.Latch",LE,LX,SE,SX); B = -1 AND Ref(B,-1) <> -1 You need the forum dll latch for this to work.

First make sure you have metastock 9.0 and that you are logged on the forum. Click here http://forum.equis.com/d...?mode=drm_cat_view&cat=8 Download and install the ForumDll.exe file ( You should download the manual as well ) Then start metastock and just copy and paste the formulae I gave you in a system tester.
