[EquisMetaStock Group] AST long bias problem

["CJ van Heerden" <cj.vh@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,
 
I need some help please. 
 
I have an indicator I want to test, but cannot get the code right.
 
There is a Long signal. When it spikes through 1, I enter long.
There is a Short signal. When it spikes through 1, I go short.
 
So far so good. This is a stop and reverse system (the trailing stops will
come later).
 
Sometimes the two signals happen together. When that happens, I must reverse
the position -i.e. if I am long, I must go short and vice versa. This is
where I see my backside. 
 
This problem occurs because Advanced System Tester forces one to choose a
long or short bias in such a case. It is not good enough. MS7.2 tested fine
as it alternated automatically.
 
I would appreciate some pointers. I basically need to let the system know
whether I am currently long or short and let it make the correct decision to
buy or sell when the two signals occur together.
 
I am sure that someone in the group will have an elegant solution worked
out. I would appreciate some help.
 
 
Regards,
 
Carl
