Lai,
When testing systems, the charts show a lot of whipsaws,which traders don't take into account.
The VSTPro from Metastocktools doesn't lie. There is no way to bs the results. What you put in is what you will get back. This is what Equis should have done with the enhanced system tester in the first place!
I have to praise Jose Silva for developing this add-on. It is by far the most impressive add-on that is available for the metastock user ever!

yes you can use the code, but change the inputs to a hard number cola could be long entry and col b the short entry or Ind1:=Mov(C,2E);
Ind2:=Mov(C,5,E);
Signal:=If(Cross(Ind1,Ind2),1,If(Cross(Ind2,Ind1),-1,0)); Signal
Signal will show +1 for entry and -1 for exit, in the filter section Col A<>0
this will eliminate all equities that do not meet the exploration

Sorry to bother you again, I’ve tried the above code, it is workable. What if I just want to show the +1 for entry only and eliminate -1 for exit? Thank you

This formula gives you +1 for a long entry and -1 for an exit Ind1:=Mov(C,2E);
Ind2:=Mov(C,5,E);
Signal:=If(Cross(Ind1,Ind2),1,If(Cross(Ind2,Ind1),-1,0)); Signal
to show only +1 for long entries all other points will show 0
Ind1:=Mov(C,2E);
Ind2:=Mov(C,5,E);
Signal:=If(Cross(Ind1,Ind2),1,0); Signal I would use the top formula! First reason,it shows more events, second if you keep building new indicators that only show 1 event, you will run out of room in the indicator builder. The indicator builder will only allow for 2000 indicators; 1 event X 2000 indicators =2000 events, 2 event X 2000 indicators = 4000 events hope you see my point
