Re: [amibroker] Open Trade Problem - Walk-Forward Optimization

Hello,

Yes it exits because generally speaking parameter change
will usually change signals from previous section of test
therefore trades should be exited. If you don't want that,
you can keep the trades by adding this line:
Buy = Flip( Buy, Sell);

This will re-open any long trades at the beginning of the next section
