Re: [amibroker] First Value When

Ken,

why not save the number of shares (when initially bought), into a static variable?

  Subject: [amibroker] First Value When


  I want to determine the stock price (to become the Buyprice) at the very first Buy signal in a series of buy signals over a range.

  When I have written 

  ValueWhen(Buy, Close);

  I get changing buy prices at each Buy signal.

  I have tried counting the number of Buy signals in the Range, and using

  ValueWhen(Buy, Close, NumbBuys);  but that does not seem to get it.

  What I am doing is using the BuyPrice to determine the number of shares purchased at that very first buy signal, then wanting to maintain that same number of shares throughout the range.

  Any suggestions to solve my problem?

  Thanks,

  Ken
