RE: [amibroker] How to code "Take only first signal of the day"?

["Herman van den Bergen" <psytek@xxxxxxxx>]

A bit clumsy but this might get you started:

NewDay = DateNum() != Ref(DateNum(),-1);
BuyNum = Cum(Buy);
DailyBuyNum = BuyNum - ValueWhen(NewDay,BuyNum);
Plot(DailyBuyNum,"DBN",1,styleStaircase); // test only
Buy = Buy AND (DailyBuyNum == 1); // change the "1' to the trade number you
want to take

  I don't quite know what you mean by take the first signal, if you have a
buy
  signal then you will get a buy showing on the first signal for
backtesting.
  For scans and explorations then add the line Buy=exrem(buy,sell); to
remove
  subsequent buy signals
