RE: [amibroker] stock price at time of buy signal

Big difference.

LastValue is always the most recent piece of data in the database
regardless of the bar you think you are on.

ValueWhen is a historical reference to the "Value" of the array "When"
the condition was last True. This will never be the current bar.

Subject: [amibroker] stock price at time of buy signal

Can anyone tell me what is the difference between these two?  I'm
tracing and i'm getting different results for different stocks.  Thank
you!

PriceAtBuySignal = ValueWhen (Buy==1,Close);
_TRACE("PriceAtBuySignal "+PriceAtBuySignal);

PriceAtBuySignal = LastValue (BuyPrice);
_TRACE("PriceAtBuySignal "+PriceAtBuySignal);
