[amibroker] Re: Market Position?

["Joel" <shadowzen@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, I'll try that, though I did come up with:

LongBarsSince = BarsSince(Buy);
ShortBarsSince = BarsSince(Sell);
MP = IIf(LongBarsSince < ShortBarsSince,1,-1);
 
haven't figured out how this would work for Flat, but my current 
system is always in market... so no biggee.
Think I'll give your method a go though, so I have the Flat 
availaible.

Thanks;

Zen
