[amibroker] Re: Detecting breakeven and using applystop

Hi,

Not quite sure about the buy, but I worked great after checking against a time, start of trading day.

SBEvn = L <= ShortPrice - BrkEvnBuff; AddColumn(SBEvn ,"SBEvn");
SBEvnSig = Flip(SBEvn,TimeNum()==080000); AddColumn(SBEvnSig,"SBEvnSig4");
Stoploss = IIf(SBEvnSig == 1, 0,0.0025); AddColumn(StopLoss,"StopLoss",1.4);
ApplyStop(stopTypeLoss,stopModePoint, Stoploss,ExitAtStop = 1,Volatile = True);

But when stoploss is 0, applystop doesn't work. Is this the right behaviour for applystop?
