Re: [amibroker] Re: Sell after certain Percentage Gain Question?

[Al Venosa <advenosa@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

No. ApplyStop is its own function. It returns nothing. It is not used in a Sell statement, which returns a 1 when true or 0 when false. Check the help file under ApplyStop. The answer to your question is:

Percent = Optimize("Percent",10,1,20,1);
ApplyStop(stopTypeProfit, stopModePercent,Percent);
