hi,
 
when developing systems I usually make a chart of the output. Below is shown how to do it,
 
rgds, Ed
 
 
 
SetOption("InitialEquity",100000);                  
SetOption("MaxOpenPositions",1
);              
SetOption("MarginRequirement",100
);                  
SetOption("UsePrevBarEquityForPosSizing",False
);
SetOption("AllowPositionShrinking" , True
);
SetOption("AllowSameBarExit",True
);  
SetOption("ActivateStopsImmediately" ,False
);
SetTradeDelays(0,0,0,0
);                            

SetPositionSize(100,spsPercentOfEquity
);
RoundLotSize = 10
;

Buy = True
;
Sell = 0
;
ApplyStop(3,2,0
);

BuyPrice = C
;
SellPrice = O
;

Equity(1
);

GraphXSpace = 5
;
Plot(C,"C",1,64
);
Title=Name()+ ", O: "+WriteVal(O)+ ", H: "+WriteVal(H)+ ", L: "+WriteVal(L)+ ", C: "+WriteVal(C
);

PlotShapes(IIf(Buy,shapeUpArrow,0),colorWhite, layer = 0, yposition = BuyPrice, offset = 0
);
PlotShapes(IIf(Sell,shapeDownArrow,0),colorYellow, layer = 0, yposition = SellPrice, offset = 0 );

Subject: [amibroker] Buy on Close, Sell on Open

Hi,

I'm trying to write a Backtest for a single symbol that Buys on the
Close of each Day, and Sells on the next Open.  (Sounds weird, but
there's a good reason for the research.)

Attached below is my code.

It almost works, but Buys only every other day, not every day, and
does exit on the next day's Open.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
David

SetTradeDelays(0,0,0,0);                           
BuyPrice = Close;
SellPrice = Open;
SetPositionSize(100,spsPercentOfEquity);
RoundLotSize = 10;

Buy = True;
Sell = False;
ApplyStop(3,2,0);
