[amibroker] Starting point for calculation in graph

I am new to amibroker and need some help creating a backtest formula.
Actually, I am the office computer guy and not a trader so my
understanding of the market is rather limited. This makes creating a
formula a wee bit more difficult.

The formula I am trying to create depends on the closing value for the
first day or the range being used for the test. How do I assign this
value to a variable? Or more specifically, how do I get at this value?

Basically, I want to buy when the weekly close is greater than 4% of
the value of the start date. So I need to know the value of the start
date in order to buy. Does anybody know how to do this?


Thanks,
Mark
