[amibroker] Simple Profit Calculation?

["batymohn" <batymohn@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Guys,
I'm new to Amibroker and this group but I'm a decent JAVA programmer.  
I've figured out how to create buy and sell Explorations but I'm 
puzzled how you calculate a backtest profit.  Say 
  "Buy = Cross( MACD(), 0);"
Gives you something like AAPL on 9/22/01  at a  H of $77 and 
  "Sell = Cross( 0, MACD());"
Gives you something like AAPL on 9/22/06  at a  H of $47.

How would Amibroker know that these were the same position in your 
backtesting or do you need to create your own variable?  

Thanks.
Chris
