Stephane/Jason,
Thanks for the help. Unfortanately, the applystop
function overrides the buy and sell signals, so a
profit stop or a stop loss always triggers a position
to close, regardless of what the buy/sell array holds
(so hold does not work).
In the backtester settings, there is a checkbox that
allows you to activate stops immediately--it says when
turned on, stops are checked AFTER current bar
signals. I think this is a typo and should say "when
turned off", because that is when you get a delay
until the next day before stops can be triggered.
What I'd like to do is to activate stops after n
number of days from the buy or sell signal (current
functionality is n=0 or n=1 based on the checkbox).
There must be an elegant way to do this with AFL.
Perhaps writing your own stop routine using barsince?
Thanks,
Walid
