[amibroker] Re: Trade Signal vs. Raw

It is semantics. The last signal you get will be the last one in the 
last n days, even if you have a signal every day. The chart is 
revealed day by day and it shows you where the condition exists. I 
can't figure out why you are using flip and it seems to make no 
difference when I comment it out.

Plot the following and look at it:
plot(H, "C", colorred);
plot(L, "L", colorred);
plot(HHV(H,20), "HHV", colorblue);
plot(LLV(L,20), "LLV", colorblue);
plotshapes(buy * shapeuparrow, colorgreen);
plotshapes(sell * shapedownarrow, colorred);

This will show you where the signals come. Your formula simply tells 
you when the high crosses above the high of the last 20 days. It can 
do that every other day. Ditto with the low.
