I have designed two custom indicators, a long entry and an exit to that long position. When I plot them in their own windows the signals seem to work. IE: A value of 1 when my criteria are met for both the entry and exit position. I then created a new sytem and used <function> to place the long entry indicator in the long entry formula space and did the same thing for the exit. I ran the system and it only produced one trade according to the system tester. When I plotted the results on the chart, I can see that there are many signals that the system tester didn't act on. I have the custom indicator windows above the stock chart and they are sending positive (Value=1) signals but there are no corresponding buys or sells. Anyone know what I could be doing wrong? Thanks.

Hi Henry, Here is my long entry: Cross(C, (Ref(HHV(H,100),-1))) AND ADX(14)<25 AND Mov(V,3,S)> Mov(V,12,S) Here is my long exit: Cross(Ref(LLV(L,30),-1),L) Like, I said, works fine as an indicator but not as a system. Thanks in advance.

Patrick, I've been doing equity tests. thnx

Thanks Patrick, when you asked me whether I was using point or equity it led me to the answer. It seems if the first trade is negative and you have it set to commit 100% to each trade it stops trading when the equity falls below the starting point. I verified that using points worked and also when I committed percentage to each trade it also worked. Thanks, and great site!
