[amibroker] Programming stop at stop price, but considers gaps

["david" <dwei9361@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello

Welcome any suggestions, as I am really only getting into this, and could do
with some suggestions on how to improve coding, and also alternative or
better ways of doing things. 

To program a stop, which takes into consideration where the open next bar
would defintely leap frog a stop, I put this together this, from an example
from the user guide,

Buy = DayOfWeek()==1; 
BuyPrice = Open;
priceatbuy=0; 
stop=10;

for( i = 0; i < BarCount; i++ ) 
{ 
     if( priceatbuy == 0 && Buy[ i ] ) 
     priceatbuy = BuyPrice[ i ]; 
     
     if( priceatbuy > 0 && Low[ i ] < (priceatbuy - stop) ) 
     { 
       Sell[ i ] = 1; 
       SellPrice[ i ] = Min(SellPrice[ i ],(priceatbuy - stop)); 
		priceatbuy = 0;
     } 

     else 
     Sell[ i ] = 0; 
} 

Buy = ExRem(Buy,Sell);

It works, however I find I need to include the Buy = ExRem(Buy,Sell);
statement, else some funny things happen when exit and buy signals are
triggered on the same day. (Single bar trade is enabled on the backtester
settings).

Any thoughts on this, particularly to the one mentioned above, or otherwise
? I am sure there are some out there frowning at the code, and can see
improvements.

Thanks

Kind regards

Dave
