RE: [amibroker] test if buy or short outstanding

You could try the Flip function which will keep the buy signal at 1 until a
sell occurs, and just add AND Buy to your sell for end of day.

Subject: [amibroker] test if buy or short outstanding


hi there, i want to close out my positions at the end of the day.. i 
use the following for testing end of trading day: 

sell = cover = Cross(TimeNum(),195500); 


but i want to extend this with testing if a position is really 
outstanding at that stage...  


so how can you test if a buy or a short is still outstanding 

i tried something like >

Buy   = Cross(roco,ma_roco);
Sell  = IIf(Cross(ma_roco,roco),True,IIf(Cross(TimeNum
(),195500),True,False));

Short = Cross(ma_roco,roco);
Cover = IIf(Cross(roco,MA_roco),True,IIf(Cross(TimeNum
(),195500),True,False));

and then some plotshapes stuff

This gives me correct buy and sell and short and cover arrows but i 
always get the sell/cover one at 19:55 aswell.

i have to add somethin such as >

Sell  = IIf(Cross(ma_roco,roco),True,IIf(Cross(TimeNum(),195500) and 
buy == true,True,False));
 

but this does not work...


so how can i test is a buy (or short was outstanding at 19:55 hr

thanks
