[amibroker] Re: Min Holding Period Conundrum

Trading Reference Links

To solve this problem I decided to use CBI, however I am not getting 
the results that I was expecting. Any help would be appreciated.

SetBacktestMode( backtestRegularRaw ); 
SetCustomBacktestProc(""); 

MinHoldingPer = 2;

if( Status("action") == actionPortfolio )
{ 
  bo = GetBacktesterObject(); 
  bo.PreProcess(); 
  for( i = 0; i < BarCount; i++ ) 
  { 
   for( OP = bo.GetFirstOpenPos(); OP; OP = bo.GetNextOpenPos() )
   { 
   if ( OP.BarsInTrade >= MinHoldingPer)
	Sellnow = 1;
   } 
   bo.ProcessTradeSignals( i ); 
  } 
  bo.PostProcess(); 
}

Sell  =  ExitLong OR SellNow == 1;
