[amibroker] Re: PositionScore Calculation and different buy date

Hi,

I believe that you can accomplish what you are seeking via the ValueWhen function. However, you will need to add better error checking to your "25th of each month" to account for that day falling on a weekend or holliday.

Here is an untested simplistic  example (to illustrate the concept) ignoring the fact that the 25th may not happen for any given month (as a result of being a weekend or holliday).

Mike

Scores = ...;                             // My PositionScore logic
Day25 =
Day() == 25;                      // Naive 25th day


Buy = ...;                                // My Buy logic

PositionScore = ValueWhen(Day25, Scores); // Use PositionScore of 25th day

For instance, how would one tell the AA that you want to calculate the positonscore on the 25th of the month and enter the resulting trade on the 1st of the next month? Trade delay does not seem to work since months have different lengths. With a buy date of he 25th of each month a trade delay of 6 puts the trade on the 1st when the month has 30 days and in March it puts it on the 3rd since Feb has 28 days and on months with 31 days, the trade is on the 31st.
