Richard, thanks for the swift reply.....

I want to use a 14 period %k with 3 as %k slowing ma. I want to use 3 for %d. I coded the formulas you provided with those numbers:

%k - (sum(C-llv(L,14),3)/sum(hhv(H,14)-llv(L,14),3))*100
&d - mov(stoch(14,3),3,e)

I used your code for the buy and sell. (Haven't coded the short side yet) The test is generating SOME signals as needed (buy when %k crosses above 75, sell when %k & %d cross or when %k drops below 75.

However I'm getting a lot of other signals that show a buy when the above conditions are not met and some of these don't show an exit. These may occur anywhere between 25 and 75 and are signaled anytime %k and %d cross. This of course messes up the report and shows a gigantic negative profit. NOT WHAT I WANT!

Any additional ideas? Thanks in advance
