[amibroker] Re: PlotShapes with Trade Delay Question

Hi,

The trick is to use Ref(Buy, -1) to recognize a signal at the 
previous bar, and then to provide the BuyPrice as the Y coordinate.

I think that you will find that the star is much too large an image 
for what you are trying to do. Use a small circle instead as follows:

PlotShapes(IIf(Ref(Buy, -1), shapeSmallCircle, shapeNone), 
colorBrightGreen, 0, BuyPrice, 0);

Not sure if you need to use Ref on the BuyPrice too. Experiment and 
find out.
