Sidney,
Could you use something like the
following:
InLong = Flip( Buy, Sell OR Short );InShort = Flip( Short, Buy OR Cover
);State = IIF( InLong, 1, IIF( InShort, -1, 0 ) );

Subject: [amibroker] logic to determine
position
As a Tradestation guy I really miss having the "position"
function when trying to code up something in AB.Here is where I
need some help. I need a way to determine whether I currently have a
long / short / out position in a stock.The only thing I can figure is
to use "barssince" buy condition or sell condition and test the value of
barssince. Does anyone know what value barssince takes
if the array is false. ie: barssince(buy) where buy is
false. Is it zero, NAN, or some large negative number?That is my
poor attempt at the logic...what are you guys using to determine what the
current position is when working in the middle of a script.My context
would be: If I am long I want to impose a filter that would NOT be used if
I am out or short. Eg: exit long if price crosses under an MA, but
do not use an MA test to determine entries.TIASidSend
