I would like to back test a very simple strategy using the Drag and Drop feature, but, embarrassingly, cannot seem to find the Conditions command(s) to accomplish it.  Will you please help?
The strategy is this:  Buy when Price falls 8% below the most recent High.  Sell when Price recovers.  In addition, I also would like to be able to utilize the Optimize feature to refine the percent-drop criteria.
Thank you for your help.

        "Sell when Price recovers" is essentially a buy & hold strategy.  What do you do if and when the price does not recover (ever)?

        Hi, guys.  Thank you very much for the prompt response.
Cone:  What if "recover" is defined to be 8% above Purchase Price.  You are correct that a "recovery price" cannot always be guaranteed to be reached in all cases, but an 8% rise from Purchase Price should be attainable in most situations.  On the other hand, it probably also is true that in a constantly rising market there probably would not be many, if any, 8% price drops as Entry points.  That is why I want to test and optimize.  Does setting the Sell Price at 8% over Purchase Price help in creating a simulation?
Eugene:  Thank you for suggesting the Buy on Drop Strategy.  I downloaded and ran the Strategy, but it did not generate any trades.  My Data Parameters were: 
 Scale = Daily
 Date Range = 12/28/2008 - Present
 Pos Size = $10,000
 Symbol = SPY
 I left the Strategy Parameters unchanged from the defaults.
The Strategy appeared to have downloaded OK; the Compile process indicated to be successful; but when I click on Run the Strategy, no trades are generated.  Any idea what I have done wrong?

Try tweaking the parameters until a satisfying result is produced. Every symbol has its own volatility and default settings might not be applicable to SPY. As you could see in the strategy description:

1.   Wait for a 9-percent (or larger) close-to-close move over the past 12 bars.

        Thanks, Eugene.  I tried a few altered parameters, and still was unsuccessful.  Then I Optimized the strategy, and the optimization did result in combinations of parameters that did in fact work (i.e. -- did generate trades).   So the code itself does work.  Unfortunately, it did not produce good results for SPY -- less than B&H  :-(  
The problem with SPY may be that SPY has been on a relatively unchanged upward trend for some time.  I'll try the strategy on a Symbol that has been more volatile.
Thanks again for the help.
