I'm trying to learn the metastock formula language for use in the the enhanced system tester. I wrote a buy signal when certain conditions were met. That worked. My sell signal was simply ref(c,+1). That worked. However when I rewrote the sell signal ref(c,+5) it still sold on the next day instead of the 5th day. What is wrong. In fact if I rewrite the sell signal for any other day but the next day it still sold on the next day. I need some help

Hi Ralph
Use negative values for the Ref() function to create a delay. Positive values reference future prices or values.

A simple way to exit an EST trade after a period of time is to employ the inactivity stop; no code or tricks required.
