Strategies will often result in redundent signals (e.g. receive
another buy signal when already holding a position). Also, depending
on your settings for position size, number of positions allowed, etc.
you may not be able to take all signals.

Thank you Mike. When I backtest, only one trade shows but on the chart
there are many "Buy" & "Sell" signals. Do I do backtest the system by

Thank you Mike. This is what I wrote but when I do backtest, nothing
shows up. Is this correct?
x=Foreign("X","C");
YourSystemEntrySignal = Cross( EMA(x, 10), EMA(x, 20 ) ) AND x >
Ref(x,-50);
YourSystemExitSignal= Cross(EMA(x, 20), EMA(x, 10)) AND x < Ref(x, -50);
if( Name() == "A" )
{
Buy = You
You were not specific enough in your description for anyone to write
the formula. Do you mean that the Cross happens in the EMA of "X", or
