Yuki,
Please READ
"Tutorial: Backtesting your trading ideas"
Quotes from the manual:
"buy - "true" or 1 value opens long trade"
"AmiBroker now provides 4 new reserved variables for specifying the price at which buy, sell, short and cover orders are executed.
These arrays have the following names: buyprice, sellprice, shortprice and coverprice."
There is a clearly stated difference between
BUY variable (that defines buy RULE, NOT price !!!! )
and
BUYPRICE ( that defines buy PRICE ).
The BUY RULE has to be TRUE on bars when you
want to BUY and FALSE otherwise.
The buy PRICE is controlled by BUYPRICE.
It is good to read the manual.
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
