Re: [amibroker] A Buy without a Sell?

Curious and basic:  I have a fairly good entry signal, and want to Buy on this signal.  I have no Sell signal, only want to follow a stop to take out the trade.  Initially a percentage stop and then turn it into a trailing stop.

 

But I can't get around the need for the Sell statement.  As I said, basic.

 

I have tried a BuyP = Valuewhen(Buy, Close,1);

Then Sell = 0.95 * BPrice < L; 

 

But while I see some places where this works, I see lots of other places where it did not.  Puzzling.

 

Anyone got a simple way to Buy on a signal and then ONLY sell on violation of a stop?

 

Thanks,

Ken

Sell = Cover = 0;
ApplyStop(stopTypeLoss,  , ....... , ...... ,...);
ApplyStop(stopTypeProfit,  ....... , ...... ,...);
