Re: [amibroker] Long and Inverse Fund

Do this:

BUY = (MarketBuy AND Name() == "RYVYX") or (MarketSell AND Name()  ==
"RYVNX");

Where RYVYX is a Long fund and RYVNX is a Short fund of your choosing.

You will have to either choose All Symbols (slow) or Use Filter and setup a
filter that contains your funds of interest (a watchlist, group, etc.)

I also keep track of whether I'm on my own buy or sell so I can have a SELL
signal appropriate to which BUY signal I'm in. Alternatively I'm thinking
MaxOpenPositions = 1; should also do the trick. Here's my Sell code:

Sell = (MarketSell AND Ref(onBuy,-1) OR (MarketBuy AND Ref(onSell,-1));

Where onBuy and onSell are variables that are TRUE every day that my
MarketBuy and MarketSell signals are in effect.
