[amibroker] Re: How to block out certain date periods in Trading

["Mike" <sfclimbers@xxxxxxxxx>]

What about something like this (disallows buys during blackout, forces 
sells during blackout):

May = 5;
MayCutoff = 15;
October = 10;
OctoberCutoff = 15;

MonthOfYear = Month();
DayOfMonth = Day();
Blackout = IIf(MonthOfYear == May, DayOfMonth >= MayCutoff, 
IIf(MonthOfYear == October, DayOfMonth < OctoberCutoff, MonthOfYear > 
May && MonthOfYear < October));

Buy = ... AND Not Blackout;
Sell = Blackout OR ...;

Mike
