TS 2.5 comes with a system called PROFITEXIT_TEST(), for which the code is:

' TradersStudio(r) (C) 2004-2007 All Rights Reserved
Sub profitexit_test

Dim minmove

minmove= getactiveminmove()

Print bigpointvalue

Buy("buyent",1,Open,Market,Day)

ExitLong("buyex1","buyent",1,EntryPrice+(200/bigpointvalue),Limit,Day)

End Sub

I ran it on the s&p emini contract daily data and all I get are buys and sells at the exact same price, once per day.  Shouldn't it try to sell 4 points higher than it buys?  I did this test because I'm having similar problems in another system I'm writing.  What's wrong here?

-ekp

Are you trying to enter and exit on the same day, If you are not  then you should do something like

If barssinceentry>1 then

ExitLong("buyex1","buyent",1,EntryPrice+(200/bigpointvalue),Limit,Day)

end if

Entry day target profit features are limited because it allows you to fool yourself into thinking you have a profitable system.
