Short question about stop losses and AFLIn my latest 
trading system I wantto exit a trade after a certain gain.(Say +5% 
when trading long).Do I have to code this into AB usingAFL/vbScript or 
does the backtest"STOPS" settings take care of this 
?Backtest  |  
Settings      |      
Profit 
Target             
|           
PercentWhen I set the "backetest stop settings"to my desired gain, 
the system errors,asking me for an AFL "SELL =" argument.What do I 
code in the AFL "Sell=" functionto make this work ?Questionis: 
Which function takes 
care             
of selling at the desired 
gain?             
1)The settings in the backtest 
options             
2)or the AFL "Sell=" functionAmibroker is an amazing tool and Ihave 
beenable to crank off some faily complicatedtrading systems. (Great 
work Tomasz !)I am however having a little trouble withthis stop 
setting...PS:I know there is an example of a similar problemin 
the tutorial using vbScript. If it must be donewith vbScript, then what 
are the backtest optionssettings used for ?Sorry it's a bit long 
winded, but I'm havinga bit of trouble with this 
one.Thanks,GaryCanadaPost
