[amibroker] Buyprice questions

G'day all,

Being an utter noob to AFL, I have a few questions. If I want to specify 
a buy at a price one tick above the previous day's high will the 
following work?

************************
// simple key reversal

H1 = Ref(H, -1);
C1 = Ref(C, -1);
L1 = Ref(L, -1);

Capital = 10000;
PositionSize = -15;
RoundLotSize = 1;
TickSize = 0.01;

Buy = L < L1 AND C > C1;
BuyPrice= H1 + TickSize;
************************

(My entry to this trade is set with a buy delay of 1 in the backtester 
settings so once my BUY condition is met, it won't take effect til the 
next bar )

Will Buyprice work like this? And will  my Buyprice be yesterday's close 
plus something above it? That is, if the price jumps 5 cents, will it 
still execute?

I hope i've clearly explained what I'm trying to do..

Thanks,

Andrew.
