Chuck,
From more detail you have given, It looks like my version isn't
exactly what you want.
However, I think it's along similar lines at to what you want to achive.
Perhaps you can modify my code to suite your needs more specificaly.
You can download it now here:
http://www.amibroker.org/3rdparty/BasicPortfolioTracker_V1.zip
The code I have posted will:
Record trade details like buy price, date etc.
Store these details in an external file.
It is a TWO chart system, One for Writing the data, One for
checking/creating alerts.
The Alert checking chart reads the data written from the 1st chart's
data file.
Gocha's
It's only basic - So It doesn't have Sell point written to file for
later reference.
You can not write a buy in the future (Unless you manualy modify the
datafile)
New functions
Perhaps with the new X-Shift function, You will be able to mark a
buy in future bars.
Im not sure if X-Shift is implemented in any of the beta's yet.......
