Re: [amibroker] Plotting Bands when Long or Short

I believe you are having the same troubles that I was in a few weeks ago. 
It's not clear to me if you want the long to close when the short is opened 
or not.  Also, your 'trailing stop' formula is not clear.  If the trailing 
stop is based on the open price then your sell is linked to the buy.  I'm 
guessing you are also wanting to exclude unwanted intermediate signals.  To 
do these things I have discovered -- with much help from the users of this 
group -- that you must use either applystop if it is suitable, or use a 
'for' loop to define your trade signals -- Flip, exrem etc are not suitable 
for this.
