Re: [EquisMetaStock Group] Bias change and systems test - solved

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

I found what seems to be a solution in another discusson group. The link is here:

 

http://www.purebytes.com/archives/metastock/2002/msg02252.html

 

What is perturbing is the comment from Metastock:

 

Either or both of these settings will block execution of one order if two
orders are released on the same bar

 

A lot of systems are stop and reverse systems. MS won't give accurate results if this happens on the same bar and you use the default settings!

 

I have changed Porfolio Bias to Multiple and it seems to have resolved the issue.

Subject: [EquisMetaStock Group] Bias change and systems test

 

I have noticed during a systems test that sometimes a new entry is forced before the previous trade's exit signal/stop was received. The new entry is entered and the previous trade is closed at the close of that bar. I do not want a new trade if the previous one has not been stopped out.

On further inspection of the reports I discovered that the source of the entry was "bias change".

This happens on long and short trades. My settings allow only one trade at a time. "Long Bias" is ticked.

I cannot find any help in Metastock. I'll be gratefull if someone can help to solve this issue.

Carl
