[amibroker] Re: How to "Enter Long" at Open on Next Day

["Mike" <sfclimbers@xxxxxxxxx>]

You should be able to code your script as though everything were going 
to happen on the same day as the signal, then just use SetTradeDelays 
to defer it 'till the next day.

Try something like this (untested):

SetTradeDelays(1, 1, 1, 1);

MA20 = MA(Close, 20);
MA80 = MA(Close, 80);
MA150 = MA(Close, 150);

Buy = (Close > MA20) && (MA20 > MA80) && (MA20 > MA150);
BuyPrice = Open;

Sell = ...
SellPrice = Open;

P.S. For better performance, only calculate the MA's once.

Mike
