RE: [amibroker] AlertIF behavior

Tomasz,
If we have a mechanical Buy/Sell/Short/Cover system that we develop in AFL
in the AA window, can we place this entire system in the Indicator Builder
and put it in a pane with plot function and Alertif based on
Buy/Sell/Short/Cover? I have just started to try this but there is no way
to backtest it. Are there any limitations to this?

However, how does one trap the Applystop function and put it into an AlertIf
? From a AA backtest, the following statement seemed to work:

AlertIf( ApplyStop( 0, 1, 6, 1 ),"", "Stop", 0, 15, 0 );

Is this acceptable or do you see any problems with this?

Thanks,

Rick

Hello,

By default AlertIF looks for this and one bar previous and
reports signals when they FIRST appeared.

Since your condition was true also yesterday - AmiBroker
reports that the alert was valid since YESTERDAY
(this is useful because you know that if you will
act today - you will be delayed from the signal)

To switch this off - to look only for current bar you should
set LOOKBACK parameter (the last one) to zero.

AlertIf( Close > (H/L)/2,"", "signal", 0, 15, 0 );

Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
