Just catching up with the Forum DLL - yes, I'm slow. I had a questions regarding a statement in the Forum DLL Manual. In particular, the code for Exit Long (similar for exit short) which is given as B=0 AND Ref(B,-1)=1. This doesn't seem to work where a long exit is the same signal as a short entry, as B goes directly from +1 to -1. i changed the code to B<1 AND Ref(B,-1)=1 and then it worked. Simlar in reverse for Short Exit.
Sorry if this is a well-known issue - I didn't find anything on it in a quick scan and I'm months behind on Roy's newsletter...

This is the right forum for this post ...

If you are using an expert I would simply tell you to move both the entry signals above the exit signals so that in your expert the order is similar to :
Enter Long
Enter Short
Exit Long
Exit Short
Then the use of B=0 AND Ref(B,-1)=1 should be just fine.

Thanks Patrick. This use was in an indicator that I was using as the basis for an exploration. Using the original formula it was missing any entry where there was an exit on the same day.

Andrew,
Are you using the 'original' forum latch from the downloads section, or the revised latch from http://forum.equis.com/viewtopic.php?t=3735 ?
If the original, then it has some minor issues with how it handles different scenarios such as entry and exit on the same bar; if the you managed to grab the revised version during the time when I had it posted (I got next to no feedback, so I don't know if you have it) then its truth table is on the forum to show how it handles same day entry and exits.
wabbit :D
P.S. At some time, Patrick was going to issue a new consolidated Forum.dll as the latest revision. I don't know what happened to this project, but he has been busy with other things! When the new release comes out, I will update the documentation.
