[amibroker] Low Array

["jl2012_30" <jl2012_30@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm totally new to Amibroker and am very lost.

I'm trying to write a code that implements a stop loss if the stock 
falls $1 below my buy price.

I tried the following code but it does not work (I don't get stop out 
at all). 

-----------------------
Sell = 0;

priceatbuy = 0;
for( i = 0; i < BarCount; i++ ) 
{ 
     if( priceatbuy == 0 && Buy[ i ] ) 
     priceatbuy = BuyPrice[ i ]; 

     if( priceatbuy > 0 && Low[ i ] < priceatbuy - 1) 
     { 
       Sell[ i ] = 1; 
       SellPrice[ i ] = Close[i]; 
       priceatbuy = 0; 
     } 
     else 
       Sell[ i ] = 0; 
} 

-------------------------

However, if I change the statement 

if( priceatbuy > 0 && Low[ i ] < priceatbuy - 1)  to
if( priceatbuy > 0 && Close[ i ] < priceatbuy - 1) 

the code will stop me out correctly based on the Close array.

What is wrong with my code above? Any help is definitely very much 
appreciated.
