Hi, all:
Last night I had a mind warp about a very simple stoploss I wanted to code, but for some silly reason, I failed. All I want to do is set a max stoploss to sell my long position if the price declines below the low of the day before the entry. Here is how I coded it:
Stoploss=BuyPrice-ValueWhen(ref(Buy,-1),L);//sets distance in pointsApplyStop(0,2,stoploss,1);
Problem is when I look at the trade list in the AA window, I see lots of exits labeled 'max loss' but the result was a profit!! Obviously, you can't have a stoploss resulting in a profit, so obviously something is wrong with the StopLoss statement above. Should it be:
StopLoss=BuyPrice-ValueWhen(Buy,ref(L,-1)); ?
Or should it be something entirely different? Thanks.
