Thanks for your response. A couple of responses to your
suggestions/questions.
(1) Yes, I did want the last line to be Ref(Mov(C,30,E),-2) <
Ref(Mov(C,30,E),-3)). I want to enter a trade when the 30 week EMA turns
upward out of a downward trend. The way (I think) I have written the code,
I will get a buy signal when the stock's EMA moves upwards two weeks in a
row having previously been trending down.
(2) I see your point about the problems with ANDs and Ors. That is why
I enclosed the first line - (Cross(C,Mov(C,30,E)) OR C > Mov(C,30,E)) -
with brackets. I wanted to ensure that either of these conditions would
operate with the other conditions. Will that work?
I will try your code in Explorer and then run it through TradeSim to see if
I get the same results.
Thanks muchly
John

John,
Did you want the last line to be
Ref(Mov(C,30,E),-2) < Ref(Mov(C,30,E),-3));
or
Ref(Mov(C,30,E),-2) > Ref(Mov(C,30,E),-3));
which matches the rest of your code?
One of the problems I see is the use of and/or arguments. placing
them together will result in problems since metastock doesn't know
what should be "or" versus what should be "and". Easier to seperate
them as I have done below.
A:=Mov(C,30,E);
B:=Sum(A>Ref(A,-1),4)=1;
D:=(C>A) OR Cross(C,A);
B AND D
Also note that I have summed the reference of todays MA to
yesterdays and done it over the last 4 days. Controversial but it
will work. I am sure others will weigh in on this as it could still
be done differently.
