RE: [amibroker] Re: Buy At Stop, Short At Stop

["EF" <fasttrader@xxxxxxx>]

  I understand how the logic of the buystop works as currently structured.
If the buystop price is not exceeded during the day (High not greaterthan
buystop) than the backtester will give me the Low of the day as my filled
price. 
 
  I have tried any number of logic combinations and can not achieve the
following.

  If the high of the day is not greater than buystop than I want NO trade to
occur.  For the life of me, I can not achieve a logic combination that
cancels the buy if this occurs.  I can set the price filled to be the days
open, high, low or close, but I can not cancel the buy.

  Any coding help would be greatly appreciated.
