[amibroker] Re: Position Size problems

Graham/David
I solved the issue with Graham's min. volume setting on AA. It works 
fine.
One other problem - can you assist please?
I am selling after a certain number of bars (10), so I say for my 
sell:
Sell = Ref( Buy, -10 );
That works fine, but I notice that on certain days, volume would have 
been too low for me to exit.
How do I say sell [after my holdperiod of 10] if there would have 
been sufficient volume but if volume would have been too low, wait 
until the first next opportunity?
As usual, your assistance is greatly appreciated.
Best regds,
Bernard
