If you could help me I would greatly appreciate it.
I need help finding a solution for formula I can not write. Column a b c d e date open high low close data for b,c,d,e go lets say to row a125 now in column f and g I have two =if statements with about 4 logical strings to place a BUY in f and a SELL in g Now what I need to do is write a formula for a stop loss record. It should be if you have a buy signal you need the low to be = whatever variable you are going to use. I took the close of the period that you got the buy signal minus 6. So I need a way to calculate each timeframe (cell) to tell me whether the low has gone through that 6 point stop or each the system generated a new signal which would be a sell signal. THe opposite would then hold true for the Sell signal. But it would be with the HIGH being greater than the signal(close) plus 6. DO you think that you could help or anybody. I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you NOel |

That is very confusing (at least to me). Can you give an example?

I will try to write it out like this:
a b c d e f g h i Open High Low Close 1 Date 10 15 8 8 2 " 8 12 7 9 buy 3 " 9 20 9 16 4 " 15 23 14 18 5 " 15 17 9 10 sell 6 " 7 " 8 " Ok that is what my spreadsheet looks like. I have =if(and()) statements in f and g to give me those "buy" and "sell" signals. Now what I want to do is write a formula saying that if I have a "BUY" like in f2 stop me out or cover my position if the low in how ever many time frames equals or is less than the close when i had the buy, keep doing this until I have reversed positions to get a Sell signal or am stopped out. Then do it for the next signal. But for the Sell signal it will be agianst the high because you want the market to go lower. DOes this help?

There is a lot more information there, but what does stopped out mean? And
what will the formula determine, a number or some text? -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "zmr325" wrote in message ...

Basically what stopped out means that say you purchased a stock at $93.00.
You have a stop loss of say $5. If the price falls below the $88 level you would sell one to get out of your position. You got stopped out. The market didn't go higher it went lower. The same is true for the short side. Say you sold a stock at $50 and you stop it out at $56. That means if the market rose and went against you and went through $56 you would have to buy that to get flat your position. Stop losses are just ways to reduce your risk. I don't mind if it is a value or text, but probably text would be easier to see and adjust your system.

I think I am getting deeper into this than I want to :-))
I guess I basically understand most of that, but I don't really see how it applies to the example you posted. As I read your example, that you gave, there are 4 prices for the day, but nowhere do I see quantity, or where that stop loss is calculated. I don't understand how you know that the stop loss is $5, or how you know you have to sell 1 or whether you have 1 to sell. Are we dealing with just one stock here or many? -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "zmr325" wrote in message ...

hi bob,
We are dealing with one commodity here. The four prices that you see are the open, high, low, and close for that day. All of my entry's and exits will be off of the close price if that helps. I am trying to write this to figure out what is the best stop price for me. But you know if the system gives you a buy that you will need to sell 1 either on a stop or when the system gives you a sell signal. Thank you for your time, hopefully this will help. I have posted the full sheet if this will help you. I can't remember where it is but i think it is in excel general with the headline be Help with this formula.
