If looking for a System Tester-based formula, you can also try using the Inactivity Minimum Change in the Stops tab of a System Test. Check the Longs or Shorts box as needed, set the number of periods to 3, and set to an extremely large point value (i.e. 999999) or as a percentage of 100. If these values are not achieved after 3 bars, you are exited from the trade.

With MetaStock 12 and 13, there are currently some issues with these Simulation functions and they are not properly working. That said, the Simulation functions are explained in the Paste Functions dialog of a formula. You can open the Indicator Builder, click New, and click into the formula box and click Functions. Scroll down the list of categories and choose Simulation. You can stretch the box wider but there will be descriptions of the various simulation functions.
The ones that look like they are truncated were added to the F1 help (the others were not). You can open F1 Help, click the Index tab and type in Simulation and then double click on the Simulation Functions help topic for a full description of the truncated functions.
Stops you can get more information on within the F1 Help. If you Edit a system test, click the Stops tab, you can also click the Help button in the lower right to go directly to that topic.
