[amibroker] Re: How do you change stopTypeNBar to exit at the open of the exit day?

["holygrail168" <holygrail168@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tomasz,

Are you talking about the Preferences within the Tool menu bar?

Or are you talking about the Settings button in the Automatic 
Analysis where there is a tab for Long trades and Short Trades?

It allows me to choose open, close, high, low and average but I don't 
understand why this setting exists since aren't we supposesd to set 
Buy Prices or Sell prices in our formula?  I've set all the prices to 
Open anyhow.  I've tried the backtester again but the n-bar stop 
keeps exiting at the exit days high.

Is there some sort of code I need to include in my AFL formula to 
tell it to use these settings within the Automatic Analysis tool?  

I've just lost a fair bit fo money because of this so I'd really like 
to get to the bottom of it.  Please tell me what I'm doing wrong. I'm 
using Amibroker 4.90

Thanks,
