[amibroker] buy-and-hold statistics

["Linda Wilmarth" <smart@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I want to analyze some equities, as if I were buying and 
holding them over a 10-year period, so that I can compare DD, Ulcer, 
Sharpe, etc.  To do this, I have to buy each day and then sell the 
next.  The problem I am running into is that I can buy on Day 1, then sell 
on Day 2, but my system will not buy again until Day3 even though I set 
MaxOpenPositions to 2.  I've tried various combinations of parameters, 
without any luck so far.  
 
I've attached the AFL I am using.  Does anyone have any 
ideas on how to get this to work?
