[amibroker] Re: Stop and reverse trading AFL question

["The Webmaster" <maintainer_wiz@xxxxxxxxx>]

Not really. 

I pretty much only want to be long in this system, but will only 
become short IF I get stopped out at some price x.  

In this situation, I sell 2 contracts....one to cover my long and 
the remaining one to make me short 1 contract.

I tried using your suggestion, but I'm now getting too many sells.
I only want to be short if I get stopped out of my original long 
position.  And I want to cover the short position 5 bars later at 
the close.  Any suggestions for how to do this?  Thanks.
