Hello!
I've got some questions about system testing in metastock and I hope somebody can help me.
1) If we have two securities (stocks) in metastock, can we buy/sell one stock in accordanse with some indicator's signals from another stock?

Petr,

Yes, you can reference another stock (or an indicator value on another stock) to make a trading decision in Metastock. The most common usage of this ability is for pairs trading.

oh, I would tender thanks to you, if you said me the key world in help or function name, which helps me to find information about it.
And I have two more questions:
1) How I can use different signals for take profit and stop loss?
2) How I can make signal for take profit, if I want to use calculation data only since buy signal? For example I've gotten buy signal and in calculation sell signal uses only data since buy signal.
