[amibroker] Help with valuewhen and trough:

[kris45mar <kris45mar@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All...

I want to set my initial hard stop at the second last
pivot point low using the Trough function.

This is what I have tried:

buy = whatever;

initialStop = valuewhen(buy,trough(L,0.5,2),1);

sell = cross(initialStop,close);

when I test this on an individual stock to check the
exits I find this is not as expected.
I get sell arrows when the close has NOT crossed the
value of initial stop.

I want the value of the second last trough at entry to
stay FIXED.

Where am I going wrong?

How can I code this?

Regards

ChrisB
