[amibroker] Re: How to use entry price in strategy?

["Mike" <sfclimbers@xxxxxxxxx>]

Are you talking about the actual Buy price as taken in live trading? Or, are you talking about a simulated Buy price from AmiBroker backtesting?

If the latter, then the BuyPrice array can be set to account for gaps, and the value can be referenced by writing custom backtester logic.

See GetFirstOpenPos/GetNextOpenPos in user guide: http://www.amibroker.com/guide/a_custombacktest.html
