[amibroker] Question about staticvarset + recall in backtester

["gonzo99e99" <mp@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I am trying to store in static variables on my entry days what the
long entry level should be to be recalled from custom backtester. I
converted all the signals from buy to sigscalein (because buy strips
out all future entry signals). Basically, the first buy shows up as a
buy and the rest show up as sigscalein (I used
buy=iif(buy,sigscalein,false);)

Anyway,in my code I have:

StaticVarSet(Name()+ValueWhen(Buy OR
sigScaleIn,DateNum()),LastValue(ValueWhen(Buy OR
sigScaleIn,Longtriggerlevel)));

I used lastvalue in the above because without it wont take
longtriggerlevel because its an array. The lastvalue converts it to an
integer.

Basically it should store the value as a the symbol name, plus the
date (in numeric format). This would be the level the stock would have
to reach for a buy to be initiated.

Then, from custom backtester to recall the value I have:

eval=VarGet(sig.symbol+DateNum()));

However, using _trace I see the return value is {EMPTY}.

When I use only the symbol ie:

staticvarset(Name(),lastvalue(longtriggerlevel));

and in backtester

varget(sig.symbol);

I can pass variables successfully (however it is always the last value
of the prices, since in the first pass/sweep it stores the final entry).

Finally, I would like to only store on buy or sigscalein rather than
all dates (to hopefully save time memory). Would I need to do anything
special for this?

Thanks!!
