Re: [amibroker] False sell signals

[Terry <MagicTH@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Suggestion, if youšre buying you probably want to buy when the Close crosses
up over the 9 day MA so reverse your cross statement.
Cross(Close,DEMA(Close,9))

The Sell is just a conditional. It doesnšt care about the current status of
the Buy signal (because you havenšt told it to). However, the backtester
Œknowsš if youšre on a Buy or Sell and operates correctly. If you just donšt
want to see the extra Sells add this line of code after the Sell = ...
Buy = ExRem(Buy,Sell); //Probably not needed in this example, but included
for completeness
Sell = ExRem(Sell,Buy);
