[amibroker] Re: More problems with Profit Targets - Could somebody look over this please?

["bernardedmond01" <bernardedmond01@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Could someone take a look at this pls?
I'm trying to code exiting once price is above buyprice by 3*ATR(20) 
at the time of purchase. The basic code is based on the user guide 
but I've gone wrong somewhere.
Thanks in advance.

BuyATR=ValueWhen(Buy,ATR(20)); // profit 

ProfitTarget = 3*BuyATR;
priceatbuy=0; 
highsincebuy = 0; 

exit = 0; 

for( i = 0; i < BarCount; i++ ) 

{ 
   if( priceatbuy == 0 AND Buy[ i ] ) 
     { 
       priceatbuy = BuyPrice[ i ]; 
     } 

   if( priceatbuy > 0 ) 
     { 
       highsincebuy = Max( High[ i ], highsincebuy ); 

      if( exit == 0 AND 
          High[ i ] >= ProfitTarget * priceatbuy) 
       { 
         // first profit target hit - scale-out 
         exit = 1; 
         Buy[ i ] = sigScaleOut; 
       } 

  } 
}

SetPositionSize( 50, spsPercentOfPosition * ( Buy == 
sigScaleOut ) ); // scale out 50% of position
