[amibroker] How can I control trades during specific hours?

["Barry Scarborough" <razzbarry@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Graham told me how to set AB up to trade during specific hours. 
Thanks again.

But I ran into a problem with that. On the first trade of the day, 
say the trade should be buy, since the conditions are the same for 
cover, I get a buy and cover on the same bar even though there were 
no short trade active. 

What control does AB provide that will allow the program to know not 
to cover if there is no short position. I also have the same problem 
when I close all trades at the end of a trading session, typically 
before the close. When I close a short I also get a buy on the last 
bar. 

So at the open and close of my trading period I need to control what 
I buy/sell other than just the indicator signals. How is that done? 
Does AFL have status indicators that will tell me what trades are 
active?

Thanks for the help,
Barry
