RE: [amibroker] Enter Trades At Price of Previous Bar's High

["Thomas Z." <tzg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

With BuyPrice you can define the entry price. However, you have to be
carefully, because basically you can define any price. Here is a simple way
without slippage:

Buy = High > ref(High, -1);
BuyPrice = max(ref(High, -1), Open);

Subject: [amibroker] Enter Trades At Price of Previous Bar's High

How would I have the backtester enter trades at the price of the 
previous bar's high?  My buy rules have me buying when the current 
bar's high is higher than the previous bar's high, and I'd like to 
enter at the actual trigger price (previous bar's high) rather than 
the current bars high or open or close, etc.

According to the manual, it looks like this can be done via 
"BuyPrice" but this AFL-illiterate can't figure out exactly how to 
code it.

Thanks in advance,

Grant
