Hey Four
Can you explain the Buy points and stop loss points and what they are based on?
Thanks

Mactheriverrat,
The reasoning behind both calculations is to pay attention to the repeating pattern: stocks going up make new highs and stocks going down make new lows.
set{var1, day point range / 5}
set{buy, max(close,open)+Var1}
draw buy on plot close
add column buy
Usually I take the HIGH + .03. However, here I am adding a percentage of the day's range to the higher value of the day's close or open. I want to reduce entries that are false. Trial and Error went into picking the denominator of 5. Personal preference.
set{vr1, low 1 day ago}
set{vr2, low}
set{low1, min(vr1,vr2)}
draw low1 on plot close
add column low1 {stop loss}
I compare the low today and the low from yesterday and use the lower value.
HTH
