[amibroker] TrailStop: ApplyStop opens positions for me?

["baszanowski" <baszanowskiw@xxxxx>]

Hello,

I am learnig the AmiBroker Folmula Language. For the test puroses I 
wrote a simple backtester system. I want it to open one long 
position at bar 1 and apply a trailing stop to it. That's it: I 
don't want any more positions open. I just want to test what will be 
the behaviour of the trailing stop applied to this single position. 
However, the code that I came up with seems to open new long 
positions everytime the stoploss order has been executed on the 
previously opened position.

Can anyone advise as to what is wrong with my code? I past my code 
below

Thanks,
WB

-  -  -  -  code  start  -  -  -  -  -

PositionSize = 100000;	// The size of 1 lot
TickSize = 0.0001;

for( i = 1; i < BarCount; i++ )
{
	if (i == 1)
	{
	Buy = 1;
	ApplyStop(2, 2, 0.0050, 1, False, 0);
	}
	else
	{
	Sell = 0;
	Short = 0;
	Cover = 0;
	}
}
