Dear all: I need help to code this entry condition. Try many ways but still cant figure it out. Say, my entry condition is A. And the current bar meet the entry condition. But, I won't enter the market yet. I will only enter the market when a Higher high of the current bar being hit within next 2 bars. In other words, buy signal will only hit when a move higher than the high of the current bar, for any bar within next 2 bars. I hope I address my question properly here. Please help and thanx for any help. B.D.

Hi Jose: Thanx for the wonderful codes. Can you please explain this line of code: { Plot in own window } setup*.5;entry What is the function of it? Why *0.5? Thank you! :D

{ Plot in own window } setup*.5;entry The last line of MS code plots two signals: the original setup signal, and the final signal. This is done to help you verify that the MS code works as intended. Plotting both signals together may get confusing, so I've just halved (*0.5) the setup signal for easier differentiation (sorry - I think I've just invented a new English word). jose '-) http://www.metastocktools.com

Sorry, Jose. I would like to consult you on a question on similiar scenario. In this case, say, my LE condition is A, my LX is B, my SE is D and my SX is E. The current bar meet the LE condition. But, I won't enter the market yet. I will only enter the market when a Higher high of the current bar being hit, whether it is next bar or next 20bars as long as the LE signal is still valid. The codes that I wrote has the 1 all the way - entry:=H>setupHi. I try to limit the all signals to only once. So is for SE. Lower Low of the signal bar. My LE, LX, SE, SX codes are rather long. I am not sure whether I can define that many variables under 1 indicator in MS. Thus, I have to define 4 indicators separetely for LE, LX, SE, SX. Thank you for your time, Jose.

Thanks I really like the fanfare :D But I would recommend you go to the downloads section to download the files unless you have metastock version 8.0 ... Patrick :mrgreen:
