Actually I'm trying to create a simple "Buy and Hold" OR perhaps I'll even settle for a simple Enter and Exit system using only one complete trade. In other words, using simple English, I would say it like the following... Enter Long at the open on "Bar 1" and Exit Long at the close on "Bar 11,561". I'm trying to write this system in the AFL Wizard with no success. I am doing something wrong. Guaranteed! Thanks again Walter > Hi Members > > Please bear with me.
