Owen:
I haven't tested any of these so there could be logic errors, but here's a
starting point,
> "Buy at the open plus half the average true range of the last ten days?"
HIGH >= OPEN + 0.5*Ref(ATR(10), -1)
Although, an annoying system tester limitation restricts trades to be
entered only on the bar's open, high, low or close.
> Or "If these two moving averages cross today, buy on tomorrow's open?"
MA1:= Mov(CLOSE, 10, SIMPLE);
MA2:= Mov(CLOSE, 20, SIMPLE);
Ref(Cross(MA1, MA2), -1)
With System Testing Options | Testing tab | Entry Price set to "Open" and
delay set to zero.
> Or "Exit five bars after entry?"
EntryCondition:= {your trade entry conditions};
BarsSince(EntryCondition >= 5)
Hope this helps. Any interest in sharing the details of the volatility
breakout system you are working on?
