[amibroker] Re: Backtesting assumption

Hi,

Thanks for your message, I wish someone could explain this a bit 
further for me. 

If I am using bar data(Open,High,Low,Close)and my stop is where the 
low the bar is and my profit target is at the high of the bar. Will 
the system show this as a profitable trade(As high comes first and I 
would have exited at the high when my profit target was met) or a 
loosing trade(Assuming low would have come first and I would have 
been stopped out at low).

Best regards

Rizwan

ApplyStop there is a fixed order of events (see online help of 
ApplyStop). Also one may set the N-bar stop to have priority (see 
backtester settings, Stops).
