Entry rules formula

[Roadster]

Understand this is more of a MetaStock question but using the trial version of TS, and so a bit at sea and under time pressure... As in turtle system, how would you create the trades in the database for an entry subject to a previous event. ie enter trade on breakout other than if previous trade a winner or entry depends on crossing a MA#1 AND the subsequent crossing of another MA#2(without a reversal /cross of original MA#1), regardless of time period between these two events. Tried MS Alert function but battling - any assistance? Thanks

I think this is one for Jose.

This is not a straight-forward task for MetaStock, Roadster.

The Entry conditions for the current event and the previous referenced Entry need to be two separate formulae, otherwise you'll get the dreaded circular reference error.

For the entry condition depending on a previous winning trade, it will need to reference an equity indicator that plots individual profits for each trade based on a separate entry formula. See Roy's Trade Equity indicators at
