Hi Bimbo --
You want to buy on the open every day? If you are using end-of-day data:
Buy = 1;
BuyPrice = Open;
If you are using the ordinary capabilities of AmiBroker (which I assume you are since you are just starting), you will have only one position open for a given symbol. Until you exit the first trade, all succeeding Buy signals for that symbol will be ignored. If you are running a portfolio, AmiBroker keeps track of the Buy and Sell according to the symbol, so there is no confusion in the report.
Thanks,
Howard

Hello,
I'm just starting with amibroker and have two questions.
- How do I program that every day on the open a position is opened?
Will 'Buy = Open' do the job?
- How do I link a buying signal with a sell signal? E.g. I use an
exitstrategy that is a function of the entryprice. Then it is possible
that the exit signals appear in a different order then the
entrysignals. How do I make sure that the entry and exit signal are
linked so that the report produces correct trade to trade results? (If
entry and exit are not linked correctly I may get an incorrect
assesment of the stability of the system)
Thanks
