RE: [amibroker] Fixed Buy Dates

["Graham" <gkavanagh@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You cou8ld try this

BuyDate = (name()=="A" )*1030808 + (name()=="X")*1030815;

Buy = datenum()==BuyDate;

Subject: [amibroker] Fixed Buy Dates


I want to test a trading strategy in which I already know the Buy 
Dates of the various stocks I will be trading, and just want to 
optimize the sell strategy. 
 
For example, I may already know that I want to buy A on 8/1/03 and 
buy X on 8/15/03.  Then I will write code for my sell strategy, as 
usual.
 
Is there a way to fix the buy dates for each stock in a group?

Linda
