 New user: I am trying use TRO's boolean workaround and can not get it to work.  I read extensively in the forum, yepher/stockfetcher/command.html, and the user guide.  I see examples of similar applications, but can not get SF to acknowledge and respond.  Can a "wise man" take a look and tell me how to finesse this:
 
 Sort:
 set{endtrend,count(IFT(7,9) is less than 0.7,1)}
 
 Sell filter:
 endtrend equal 0
 
 If the indicator (IFT(7,9)) stays above .7 for 2 days after a sell (short), I want to buy (ending the trade).

 Step #1
 
 
 
 
 
 "If the indicator (IFT(7,9)) stays above .7 for 2 days after a sell (short), I want to buy (ending the trade). "
 
 I am not exactly sure what you want.
 
 Your set statment is counting IFT below .7 but your selection criteria is selection IFT above .7!?!?!?
 
 HTH.

 Thank you!! for the clairification.
 
 I want to give IFT(2,7) 2 days to fall below 0.7.  If it does not... I wish to close the trade (buy).
 
 Do I need to extend the period in count (IFT(2,7) below .7,2) and use 'endtrend equal 0' as the trade ending command? The count statement will be either 0,1 or 2. If 0 I wish to close the trade. Is this correct?
 
 or keep the period at 1 and rephrase the close instruction (endtrend equal 0 for last 2 days)?
 
 TRO, I thank you in advance.......
