Re: [amibroker] Strange AB formula

["ed nl" <ed2000nl@xxxxxxx>]

hi,

 

it could be due to rounding errors. Using "prec" you can set the precision. Below works, rgds, Ed

 

 

Buy =   IIf(Prec(frac(Year()/10),2) == 0.60,1,0);
Filter = 1;
AddColumn(Buy,"Buy");

 

 

or just simply:

 

 

Buy =   Prec(frac(Year()/10),2) == 0.60;
Filter = 1;
AddColumn(Buy,"Buy");

Subject: [amibroker] Strange AB formula

Can some one tell me why the following formula does not generate any
trade? It is supposed to generate a buy signal on all years that end
with the 6th. I have tried all other years. The only that works is
with 0.5.

Buy =   (frac(Year()/10)==0.6) ;
