[amibroker] Re: Plotting Signals

Thanks for the prompt reply.

It seems I will be posting on here more frequently then ;-)

btw:  The code works fine so many Thanks but can I ask one further 
question?

I want to create an additional column when I carry out explorations 
in AB which identifies which Sell condition (or a combination of 
them) was used to exit the trade. Similar to what I have now but in 
tabular form.

Would using "If" statements be the easiest way to accomplish this? If 
so, would the logic be if Sell1==0 then the exit condition is Sell2, 
etc?
