Jack,
I am a relatively new user of Amibroker (so I may be corrected by others)

if your buy signal is event driven such as the as the default
"buy = cross( macd(), 0 );" then you can use the REF function to test for
the occurrence of event N days ago.

you can hard code a price into the selling condition, for example
"sell =(h==2.50);" Is this what you mean?

use the stop loss box to cater for percentage loss sell signals. This does
not allow for negative values so you can't use it to simulate a sell signal
on
reaching X% profit.
I presume that variable values do not persist from one day to the next,
otherwise you could use
something like
buy = cross( macd(), 0 );
iif (buy == 1,buyprice = c,buyprice=buyprice);
sell = (c>buyprice * 1.1);
iif (sell == 1,buyprice = 0,buyprice=buyprice);
Regards
Richard
