[amibroker] Re: Trade stop after GapUp or GapDown

Thnx for your help. It is not totally what I am looking for but it 
comes close. Now it the system will skip a whole trading day if it 
starts with a gap. My original idea was to delay the start, till the 
effect of the gap has disappeared. But it is possible to 
change "indaily" into "inhourly", which doesn't give good results. 
But thats also good to know that the system seems to be able to beat 
the gap problems :-)

Thnx again for the help!
