RE: [amibroker] help with trading system

["Graham" <gkavanagh@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ed, you should not need to do loops for this, just set the conditions you
want. 
Is this close to what you were wanting? 

SetTradeDelays( 0, 0, 0, 0 ); 
Buy = YourBuyCondition; 
Buy = Exrem( Buy, Sell ); 
SellCond1 = Cross( C, Valuewhen( Buy, C) * 1.02 ); 
SellCond2 = Cross( Valuewhen( Buy, C) * 0.96, C ); 
SellCond3 = Cross( Barssince(buy), 5 ); 
Sell = SellCond1 OR SellCond2 OR SellCond3 ; 
SellPrice = C; 


Cheers,
Graham

Subject: [amibroker] help with trading system


hi,

I need some basic help with trading systems. I am so used to an other 
programming language and can't seem to find out how to fully utilise 
AB in similar ways.

as an example I want to find out how to program a simple system

1) say I got my "buy" array defined.

2) now I want to sell in the following days at the close whenever the 
price has increased by 2% or more.

3) I sell with a loss at the close whenever the price decreases by 4% 
or more.

4) and I sell at the close price when the number of trading days 
exceeds 5 and the stock is still in possesion.

How could I use AFL in the best way. Do I need to use loopings?

thanks in advance,

Ed
