Can someone please let me know how I can stop the EST to give me BUY and SELL Signals on the Same Day ?

Here are my System Test Parameters:

Buy Order: LinRegSlope(Mov(C,130,E),10 ) >= 0.005 AND Cross(Stoch(5,3),20)

Stop: LLV(L,20)+2*ATR(10)

Number of Units: equity:=Simulation.AccountCash+Simulation.AccountBorrowed+Simulation.PortfolioValue+Simulation.AccountReserved; (equity*.02)/(C-LLV(L,5))

Sell Order: C< Fml( "AA JB Volatility Trailing Stop") AND Ref(C,-1) < Ref( Fml( "AA JB Volatility Trailing Stop"),-1)

I think what's happening is that when the Buy Order is executed, the conditions for the Sell Order are also met hence I get the situation where the EST is placing an Buy and a Sell on the same bar !

Is there any way I can prevent this from happening in the EST or do I have to use a formula in the Buy Order to prevent this - e.g. put another condition in the Buy Order - C > "AA JB Volatility Trailing Stop" mentioned above ??

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Wabbit - but it hasn't really helped me.

I think I might have to use a "latch" of some sort - which I've been dreading because I now have to spend some time understanding how they work !

Oh well - you learn something new every day.

One question I do have is can you use latches in the EST or are they a stand alone Expert Advisor ?

Any help pointing me in the direction of understanding latches will be greatly appreciated.
