[amibroker] Re: Kicker code

Thanks a lot for everyone's help. Results are much better now, 
especially since it's looking back, not forward! LOL! I guess what 
gets me confused is this statement that someone showed me to use:

Buy = ExRemSpan( Buy, 10 );
Sell = Ref( Buy, -10 );

This eliminates excessive buy signals and sells automatically after 
10 days. I don't really understand what the syntax here is. Why is 
the sell signal using a -10 instead of a +10? It works, but to me it 
seems like its saying sell 10 days ago instead of ten days in the 
future. Can anyone clarify? I suck at programming, but I'm getting 
better!

Thanks,

Jacques
