Hi GP,
But even when I put HoldTime inside the loop, as below, it still does not work. In fact Amibroker ends up hanging. Are there certain functions that just can't be used inside loops?
for (i = Length; i < (BarCount-TradeDelay); i++)
{
wasLong = longContractCount > 0;
wasShort = shortContractCount > 0;
HoldTime = BarsSince(ShortSignal[i]);
if (shortContractCount > 0)
{
reachedProfitLevel = C[i] < profitLevel;
if (reachedProfitLevel)
{
coverSignal[i] = 3;
shortContractCount = 0;
}
else if( HoldTime[i] > 1728) // 6 days worth of 5-min bars
{
coverSignal[i] = 2;
shortContractCount = 0;
}
}
// Short entry
if (NOT wasShort AND (longContractCount == 0))
{
shortSignal[i] = 1;
shortContractCount = 1;
}
}
