Hi Andrew,

Why not the ref function ?

Buy = ref(mybuycondition,-1);



Best regards

Subject: [amibroker] Is there a WAIT-type function?


G'day all,

My code includes a section where if a condition is met today, I need it 
to wait until tomorrow's close, compare to previous day and either 
execute a buy or discard and move on. In the real world, i'd say this is 
simple enough to do because all i'd need to do is set my condition to 
alert me if it is met. I then wait a day and at EOD I can make my 
comparison and either enter the trade or discard it. But how can i 
simulate this in a back test?? How can i code a delay or a wait until 
tomorrow for my comparison to occur?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Andrew.
