Re: [amibroker] Exit After N Bars without ApplyStop

Ken,

You can add many conditions. All other conditions you place
in regular SELL rule
+ use ApplyStop.

Sell = Cond2; // place any number of your sell conditions here
Applystop (stopTypeNBar, stopModePoint, 25);


Using AND operator does not work due to the fact that ApplyStop
does not return any value (it just instructs the backtester to
exit if trade is not closed during specified number of bars)

Best regards,
