[amibroker] ApplyStop question

Trading Reference Links


I am attempting to back-test situations where when the market or 
stock is trending to trade the Parabolic SAR from that side only, 
i.e. long trades only in uptrending markets.  To test I used simply 
PDI>MDI as follows:
OK=IIf(PDI(14)>MDI(14),1,0);
Buy=IIf(OK,Buy=ApplyStop(2,2,SAR(14),1),0);
Sell=ApplyStop(2,2,SAR(14),1);
I have also tried buying Cross SAR,H and selling Cross SAR instead of 
applystop. I am receiving totally erroneous results, it often seems 
to buy one day and sell the next regardless of conditions.  I know I 
am missing something perhaps very simple.  Any ideas will be greatly 
appreciated.
Thanks
Bill
