Hi, may someone can help me. I try to start the system tester ($$) with following expert formula.
The code was originally written by Jose Silva in 2004.

BUY:

When(Mov(C, 5, E), >, Mov(C, 38, E))
AND

When(Mov(Tema(C,3)-Tema(C,38),3,E), >, 0)
AND

When(O, >, Mov(C, 50, E))
AND

When(Mov(C, 9, E), >, Mov(C, 50, E))

Exit:

When(C, <, SAR(0.07, 0.15))

SELL - Short:

When(Mov(C, 5, E), <, Mov(C, 38, E))
AND

When(Mov(Tema(C,3)-Tema(C,38),3,E), <, 0)
AND

When(O, <, Mov(C, 50, E))
AND

When(Mov(C, 9, E), <, Mov(C, 50, E))

Exit:

When(C, >, SAR(0.07, 0.15))

but it is not "working" as i need it. there should be only one BUY signal at the beginning of the new trend, or only once when the conditions are true.

like the expert, it is a green 2cm long field, all the time the condictions are true, but in the system tester i only need it ONCE, and sell (exit) when the SAR() condictions are true. then buy again, during the time the expert is "true" and sell (exit) again.

Any idea how to type this into the system-tester? that the simulation calculate the profit (loss) only between the buy, and exit (sell short and exit) bars.

if() .. or how can i simulate it, that it will only BUY ONE time, .. till the exit take place, and then buy again??

i do not need 20 green arrows (screenshot), only (e.g.) 4 during the green expert - time.

Screenshot: (how can i upload a picture? then you see what i mean) : )

Thank you Wabbit! I´ll do my best ... so I am 15 years in the past?
I take this personally... Just kidding *g*

ahmm..... really no idea what it is good for... the results are "IMPRESSIVE!" : - ))

SAR(0.035, 0.350)

Hi Wabbit, and to anyone else... i am trying but i cannot figure it out. : (

the Chart is doing what i want but i cannot get it into a code.

So do you mind if i ask you again?

at least i copied something, deleted something *haha* and now it is close to that what it should do! but... yeah..

at least, i describe it now, and if i find out how to upload a picture = ) you´ll get a screen shot.

it should work like building a pyramide into the trend.

i have the "5 green buy arrows" in the chart (dont ask me how i did that),

and i have at least one EXIT sign (as long the close is above whatever, the Mov(C, 50, W) i guess. when the close is below this MA, then i have 20 exit signs.

the problem now is, i cannot use your code, because then i have all time

enter, exit, enter, exit, enter, exit (u know the flip.flop).

now i just want to have the entry criteria, with always a green buy arrow in the expert,

and only ONE EXIT symbol if the final criteria matches.

yeah... i tried but then i have at least 10 green arrows (on every bar, when it is true) and

or 100 exit signs...

so in the Picture, ... i just want every time a buy arrow, but only ONE exit sign.

the new "entry" criteria was, when O < SAR(). and when it is above SAR BUY again.

but with the code, there will always be an EXIT sign (and i do not need this) just the re-entry symbol.

No Clue with the Picture Upload in this forum?!?!?!

So here you can see that it luckily worked once, and this is my question.

Is it possible to have many entry arrows, but only one exit sign in the expert advisor?

so at least when the close is below (in the MY TRADING SYSTEM it will be the SHORT criteria which are fullfilled) that there is also a lot of Entry short signals, but only ONE EXIT sign?

for this chat i deleted the SHORT SELLING criterias in the expert advisor, it would be much more difficult. Hell yeah!

Sorry for the wall of text!

Hi, okay thanks for the information. I do it (read, pencil, etc), and I mentioned Jose now at the start of the threat, sorry and thanks a lot for your time and help man!
