Look for Roy Larsen's excellent post on how to make the EST buy and sell on the same bar.

To summarise it: forward reference one signal by one bar and add a one bar delay, but read his article somewhere here on the forum for the full explanation.


Hope this helps.

Some trades are not happening, I must be missing something.

Here are the formulas I am using, if someone can help please:

Long Entry

LE:= ref(MACD(),1)>0;
LX:= MACD()<0;
SE:= MACD()<0;
SX:= ref(MACD(),1)>0;
B:= ExtFml("ForumDll.Latch",LE,LX,SE,SX);
B = 1 AND Ref(B,-1) <> 1

Strategic Delay 1

==================================
Long Exit

LE:= ref(MACD(),1)>0;
LX:= MACD()<0;
SE:= MACD()<0;
SX:= ref(MACD(),1)>0;
B:= ExtFml("ForumDll.Latch",LE,LX,SE,SX);
B = 0 AND Ref(B,-1) = 1

==================================

Short Entry

LE:= ref(MACD(),1)>0;
LX:= MACD()<0;
SE:= MACD()<0;
SX:= ref(MACD(),1)>0;
B:= ExtFml("ForumDll.Latch",LE,LX,SE,SX);
B = -1 AND Ref(B,-1) <> -1

==================================

Short Exit

LE:= ref(MACD(),1)>0;
LX:= MACD()<0;
SE:= MACD()<0;
SX:= ref(MACD(),1)>0;
B:= ExtFml("ForumDll.Latch",LE,LX,SE,SX);
B = 0 AND Ref(B,-1) = -1

Strategic Delay 1

Thanks Wabbit, but it is in the formula:

LE:= ref( MACD() , 1 )>0;

or it should be some where else?
