[amibroker] Help with code

["Jerry Laster" <laster@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I am stuck here. I am writing the following conditions,
Fail=IIf((Index < 1 AND trend2 < 1) AND C<BBandBot (Close, 20, 0.8 ),   
VarSetText("ShortFlag"+Name(),"Fail" ), StaticVarRemove( "ShortFlag") );
Downtrend= IIf(C1<Ref(BBandBot (Close, 20, 0.8), -1) AND C<BBandBot  
(Close, 20, 0.8 ) AND trend2<=1 AND Index>1 AND SStrend<0,  
VarSetText("ShortFlag"+Name(),"Downtrend" ), StaticVarRemove( "ShortFlag")  
);

My problem is that VarGetText always returns the last condition.

I cannot afford a For statement, and IIF should take care of it.

How can I have a flag that tells me:
"The condition hit was (x)"

I need this to pass the result to buy/sell statements.

Any ideas? Any pointers to go on?

I was thinking something like
Fail=IIf((Index < 1 AND trend2 < 1) AND C<BBandBot (Close, 20, 0.8 ),   
VarSetText("ShortFlag"+Name(),"Fail" ), StaticVarRemove( "ShortFlag") );
if(VarGetText("ShortFlag"+Name())=="Fail")
{
Sell=(Index < 1 AND trend2 < 1) AND C<BBandBot (Close, 20, 0.8 );
}

Jerry
