[amibroker] Backtest targeting specific bars



PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links

I'm trying to write an AFL backtest that targets specific bars after 
certain criteria are met.  To keep it simple, let say I want to 
backtest a gapup and fade on a 5 minute chart.  

Short if a gapup() AND if second bar (on 5 minute chart)  opens lower 
than the close of the first bar. 

Then cover if the close of the current bar (whichever it may be) closes 
higher than the high of the second bar.

My test has more parameters and is more complex than this but I am not 
sure how to code this expression in such a way that I would be 
isolating only the second bar in relation to the first bar of the day.

Thanks for any help.
