Hi, i am a new user, but i got a problem.

For system tester example:

Buy order :Cross(Mov(C,1,E),Mov(C,10,E))

Sell order :Ref(Mov(C,1,E),-1)>Mov(C,1,E)

Metastock will sell at the price of the left circle.

How to change the sell order formula that Metastock will sell at the price of the right circle,please?(the highest price before the sell order Cross(Mov(C,10,E),Mov(C,1,E))

Thanks all.

I have never found anything that could consistently do that. Except for price level both
tops look the same so you have to come up with something to make each unique .
I usually have to get stopped out on the first top then get back in again and get out again after the
next top.
For testing you can use the ZIG function to grab the tops but this would not work for trading since it "looks backwards" in time.
I sometimes have found extrapolating the next day's signal works but mostly this gives as many false
signals as good ones.
Sorry for not being more helpful.

When using optimization in system tester by the sell order Ref(Mov(C,opt1,E)-1)>Mov(C,opt1,E)), the results were always not good enough, even couldn't use in reality. This big problem really confused me for a long time.

In your spare time you may want to research what "fractal" means in reference to charting.
I found it to be a good concept to remember when looking at charts and taking signals.
Fractals usually reference the really neat pictures you can make but in charting terms means
you "see" the same chart pattern no matter what "time period" you dial into, daily chart patterns
look like weekly which look just like monthly, etc.
Looking at a weekly chart may have missed the first and found the second?
The tech bubble is a good example, those peaks lasted "years" one after another. If your time
frame was "days" you were in and out for a long time and then hopefully getting out on that last peak.
If you emotionally said "this peak has got to be it" and got all out you may have missed half the ride.
(getting out on that last peak - no problem, LOL).
