Re: [amibroker] missing short cover variable assignments

Hello Vivek,

If you want to short, you either have to add a new condition for shorting
and covering or just edit

Sell = scond1 OR scond2;

to

Sell = Short = scond1 OR scond2;

and

Buy = bcond1 AND bCond3 OR bCond2;

to

Cover = Buy = bcond1 AND bCond3 OR bCond2;

If you dont want to place a short option,

Add the following

Short=Cover=0;

Regards

Prashanth
