[amibroker] Re: Why do I get "missing buy/sell variable assignmets" error?

["reinsley" <reinsley@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Help is there :

http://www.amibroker.com/guide/h_backtest.html

add cover and short depending what you want to do.

if you use stop-and-reverse system (always on the market)

    short = sell;
    cover = buy;


regards
