[amibroker] SellPrice Based on BuyPrice

["directaim" <directaim@xxxxxxxxx>]

In AFL,
because Buy is 'True' on 'Buy' signals after entry
a 'SellPrice' based on: ValueWhen(Buy, BuyPrice);
may not be based on the actual entry price.

I read,
that for a correct entry price
using a loop is necessary.

I have modified a loop I found,
[modified loops shown below],
and in Exploration
the stop shown is correct on the entry day.
However, as in AFL the stop changes 
with each new buy signal.

I have tried two variations 
of the location of the Array Subscript Operator.

Could someone correct one of these loops
to produce the actual BuyPrice plus or minus a fixed amount?

Thank you,
DirectAim
