Hi,

Is there anyway that I can detect the current or yesterday position when I run the System Tester ?

Currently I am looking at Simulation.LongPositionCount and Simulation.ShortPositionCount, however the rules is not performing as I wanted to.

Could any expert in here share their pointer on which function is the best to detect current long/short position ?

Update-
I think I need to use the Simulation.CurrentPositionSize, however everytime I use the function/variable, the Metastock does not give any test result.

Formula Example:
MA15:= mov(c,15,s);
Crossing:= l < MA15 and MA15 < h;

LongPos:= Simulation.CurrentPositionSize >= 0;

{Out signal}

OUT := ROC(mov(c,5,s),1,%) * ROC(mov(ref(c,-1),5,s),1,%) <=0;

Intermediate := If(LongPos And OUT,False,True);
{Decision}
Crossing AND c > MA15 AND Intermediate


Below is the error message :
An MSX DLL is reporting an internal error. Referenced DLL: "SIMULATION.CURRENTPOSITIONSIZE" DLL Message: References to current position statistics in formulas other than the System Tester Sell and Buy to




Regards,

Excellent Wabbit.
I believe this is the solution to my current problem.

Will let you know the the status.

Hi again Gombong,

I think you might be rapidly approaching the limitations of MS and its EST.

Although I have never tried this myself, you might try to incorporate Richard Dales excellent and free AdvancedStops addin as a input the forum latch function. (See http://www.tradernexus.com/advancedstop/advancedstop.html of these work for you, you might have to get something custom built to meet your specific requirements.
