[amibroker] Re: simple system coding help....

Thanks Mike.

I'm not using trade delays but I am using exrem. However, the 
barssince funcion was only used to remove more complicated sell rules 
to try and isolate the fault. It is still buying when the stoch is 
falling or above 50 - and surely the code as is should re ruling this 
out?

You say avoid Exrem - is this in all cases or just for fixed bar 
exit? Unless I'm exiting after a fixed period, is exremspan better?

I'm really confused....:-(

Thanks for any further advice....anyone?

Rich
