Greetings all,
I'm trying to backtest a trailing stop that is only implemented
after a certain profit target has been reach. I HAVE been trying to
figure out if/else looping which should be the answer according to
previous discussions here (really!). But reading through the AFL
reference manual again this morning it seems to me that I should be
able to do it by using the IFF function to assign differing results
to variables that I then use within the applystop function. Here is
the code that is not working. (What I am want to do (for this
example) is have a 50 pip stoploss, but once I have 30 pips of
profit switch to a 20 pip trailing stop.)
Buy = Cross(EMA(Close,12),EMA(Close,26));
Short = Cross(EMA(Close,26),EMA(Close,12));
Sell = Short;
Cover = Buy;
PositionSize=100000;
Var1=iff(Close>=(BuyPrice+0.003),2,1);
Var2=iff(Close<(BuyPrice+0.003),0.005,0.002);
ApplyStop(Var1,2,Var2,True,False);
I get a syntax error right at the first IFF.
Why does this give me a syntax error?
Is it possible to do what I'm attempting using this general
approach? (I'll keep banging my head against the intricacies of
if/else looping if I have to, but this would sure be a lot simpler.
Even easier would be an if/else function that works on arrays!)
Thanks in advance for your help.
