Hello again,
i want to plot on a daily chart the Buy (B is ok)
and then : Hold-1 (or H-1)
Hold 2 ( H-2)
......
Hold 26 (H-26)
and at last : Sell ( or S)
Is that possible ?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Have a look in the Users Manual for the "BarsSince()" function
Sell:=BarsSince(buy)=26=1;

Use the barssince() function to trigger an exit 'x' days after the entry...
If your entry criteria is:
N:={buy formula};
X:=Barssince(N)=26;
this is particularly easy to implement with Patricks Latch dll file. Just do a search to find it.

Hello again,
Sorry but i donot get it .
Please study my first email.
1) The entry is based upon say for example C>moa25
2) i want then to PLOT in the daily chart under the Entry Day a "B"
based upon other criteria (like C>Ref(C,-1) the trade is in a HOLD phase
so i like to see under day one after the Entry : "H-1" which stands for
Hold-1 , then based upon the hold criteria H-2 etc until H-X
where X stands for the last day this trade is in a Hold Phase
what X is i donot know but the Hold Criteria will tell.
so X can be 14 or 45 or 2.
plotted on the chart.
If the Sell criterium is triggered i like to see a S
plotted on the chart. (SELL)
Of course maybe it can be possible with the barssince function
and the dll but my knowledge of MS will not allow me that to do
so far so please try to explain it that a dummy can understand
your approach. Please show me how to plot B,H and S in the chart.
Thanks again

To plot text on a chart you need to program the Expert Advisor.
You will need three formulae in the symbols section: one for the buy symbol, one for the hold symbol(s) and one for the sell symbol.
Although this is quite feasible, I recommend you have a look at using a latched formula that will plot a result (normally zero) when not in a trade and 1 when in a trade (long) or -1 in a trade (short).
Do a search for latches in this forum or see: http://forum.equis.com/viewtopic.php?t=1312
I do not recommend that you plot B, H and S on the chart itself as it will quickly get untidy and hard to read. There are better ways to achieve your aim.
Have a good look through all of the forum for ideas.

P.S. If you have trouble doing this with the latch then post here your entry and exit criteria and I will help you make the proper indicator.
