James,
Even as an Armor Officer, I still call Artillery the "King of Battle". : )
Regarding your code, ApplyStop needs a constant in the "type" param. A way of getting around that is via the LastValue function. I've tried the code, and it checks out. See below.
Regards,
Gary
Var1=IIf(Close>=(BuyPrice+0.003),2,1);
Var2=IIf(Close<(BuyPrice+0.003),0.005,0.002);
ApplyStop(LastValue(Var1),2,Var2,True,False);the_real_redleg <james.hall3@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
OK, fix made but now I get the following error:Line 8, Column 34:PositionSize=100000;Var1=IIf(Close>=(BuyPrice+0.003),2,1);Var2=IIf(Close<(BuyPrice+0.003),0.005,0.002);ApplyStop(Var1,2,Var2,True,False);---------------------------------^Error 2.Bad argumentsI didn't think my arguments were that bad.
