Regarding settings, what they do is give me part of what I want to do but not what I want. On your advice, I did go through them a once again and a little more closely...I had not noticed stops/profit target/Exit next bar at trade. That helps and I am that new.

If you you've coded your Buy conditions well enough, you might have
done the same for your sell conditions.  I would move on to check
your AA (Automatic Anlaysis) settings.  Look at the Stops, Buy/Sell
delays, "exit on same bar" etc.  If you are very new to AB, you
*must* really go through those settings to make sure you are
backtesting to what you think you are.

Could be there...

I'm really trying to understand Amibroker AFL so any information of
how the Sell works or where I should look  would be appreciated.

the open is greater than the profit target of course I'm going to
take that. If I don't meet the profit target I want to wait till the
second day after the buy and if the open is greater than the buy I'll
take that and if that doesn't work I want to sell at the buy and if
all else fails I want to close out the trade at the end of the second
day after the buy. So, sell the next day if the open is greater than
profit target (if not met) at the profit target (if not met) the next
day if the open is greater than the buy (if not met) sell at the buy
price (if not met) sell at Close to finish the trade.  Odiously a
walk in the park for a lot you guys but a real puzzler for me. I'd
include the many variations of what I have written but I think you
guys would just laugh as I am so new.
