the
correct spelling of the function is "IIF()" and not "IFF()". It's that simple
;-)

[amibroker] Why doesn't this workGreetings
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.JamesSend
