Re: [amibroker] Different stops (long and short)

Try:
 
Chuck:
 
Try:
 
LongPos=flip(buy,sell);
ShortPos=flip(short,cover);
<FONT face=Arial 
size=2>applystop(stopTypeLoss,stopModePercent,iif(LongPos,5,50),False);
 
This hasn't been tested.

  Subject: [amibroker] Different stops 
  (long and short)
  
  I would 
  like to have either a different stop method or percent for long vs. short 
  trades.
  <FONT face=Arial 
  color=#0000ff> 
  I thought 
  that something like this would work:
  <FONT face=Arial 
  color=#0000ff> 
  
  LossPercent=<FONT 
  color=#0000ff>IIf(<FONT 
  color=#0000ff>BarsSince(Buy)<<FONT 
  color=#0000ff>BarsSince(Sell),5,<FONT 
  color=#ff00ff>50);
  ApplyStop<FONT 
  face=Arial>(stopTypeLoss,stopModePercent,lossPercent,False);
   
  But, it didn't do what I 
  expected.
  Actually, a different stop 
  method presents me with an even bigger problem.
