Re: [amibroker] count bars since entry

["Tomasz Janeczko" <amibroker@xxxx>]

Hello,

First:
if you write buy=1 you ASSIGN 1 to buy variable.
To check if it is equal you have to use double = operator:

buy == 1

but it is not necessary because AFL works in a way
similar to C/C++: zero value are treated as "false" and
non-zero values are treated as "true", so you can write:

sell = barssince(buy)>5; // sell after 5 bars from the last buy signal

For repeating buy signals it is better to use

sell = ref( buy, -5 ); // sell after 5 bars from the initial buy signal


Best regards,
