Re: [amibroker] applystop

Paul:
 
1. Yes, different stops are executed independently of others. You may 
have a profit target stop, a max stoploss, and a trailing stop all at the 
same time. Whichever one gets triggered first is the one that is executed.
 
2. If you set the parameter volatile=false, then it is based and fixed to 
the highest high since trade initiation (or lowest low if short) and will not go 
lower regardless of whether or not the close is lower today than yesterday 
(opposite for shorts). However, if you set volatile = true, then you are 
allowing the volatility to change daily, in which case it is possible (I think) 
for the trailing stop to go lower than a previous value if the ATR suddenly 
increases. TJ may correct me if I am wrong.

  Subject: [amibroker] applystop
  Hi Some helps please with applystop(), Can't seem to find 
  it in any manual1.can you have more than 1 applystop statement in your 
  backtesting code. Does one statement override the other. For example, i 
  would like to have one profit stop, and one trailing stop.2. if you 
  specify a trailing stop, say 2*ATR, does it automatically know that stop 
  line is not dropped even Close might be lower than the previous 
  day.CheerspaulSend BUG REPORTS to
