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

["electricwally77" <soundmaker@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mike, Thank you for helping. I received a syntax error on Line 8 of
your code (Sell = ...). I tried placing a semi-colen (;) at the end
but to no avail. I'm not sure how to correct this. 

Your code below.......


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;
