Re: [amibroker] Adding a log scale into applystop.

["Tomasz Janeczko" <amibroker@xxxx>]

Hello,

I am afraid I don't understand what you are trying to do.
First: I already mentioned that ApplyStop DOES NOT
return any useful value (it just sets internal backtester variables)
therefore statements like this:
> Filter = ApplyStop(1,1,X,0) == 1 OR ApplyStop(0,1,Y,0) == 1;

do not make any sense.

Also ApplyStop() affects ONLY "Back test" and "Optimization" modes. No other
modes of Automatic analysis are affected.

Also I am not quite sure what was the intention of the following statements:
> X = 10/log10(Buy); 
> Y = 8/log10(Buy); 

if Buy is boolean value (either 0 or 1) 
10/log10() will be either undefined ( there is no logarithm from 0)
or 0 ( the log10 value from 1)

As far logarihmic scale is considered - please note that
using percents in stops (mode=1 in ApplyStop) automatically
ensures "logarithmic nature" of the price scale.

Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
