[EquisMetaStock Group] Re: How to do a system test - Buy stock when price reaches $3.00 intraday, sell

[mgf_za_1999 <no_reply@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Quite right, as a plot of cross(C,xx) reveals. I mixed up cross with
another 'cross' that is either +1, 0 or -1 depending on wheter C is
above, equal or below xx. Not really using Metastock that much and
most of the stuff, as I often warn, is OTC (off the cuff).

I see on Equis' site that MS is the best software for non
professionals. Is this a compliment or an insult?
