[amibroker] Re: I want to sell a stock on next bar open what will be the code

["Andre" <SGSTAndre@xxxxxxx>]

I think the problem is that with 1 bar delay and Sell always True, 
on the day when your buy condition is true, your sell will be true, 
as well (as it was the day before and the day before) hence the buy 
will not be executed ("we already had a sell and can't trade anymore 
on this bar with delay = 1).
I think you must allow same day in-and-out by saying:

SetTradeDelays( 0, 0, 1, 1 );
SetOption( "AllowSameBarExit", True ) ;

and change the sell condition to trigger after a buy only, not 
before. The ExRem function is helpful for that:

Buy = ExRem(Buy,Sell);
or 

Sell = ExRem (Sell, Buy);

(I am a newbie, too, so I can not at the spur of the moment tell you 
which one is the one to use, I think it's the latter, which means: 
no sell signal until a buy happens ).
