Re: [amibroker] Re: Simple Buy/Sell question - How to use different long/short symbols for buy/short

[Keith McCombs <kmccombs@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I suggest that you not use the words 'Short' or 'Cover' in your code.  Instead, something like 'fakeShort' and 'fakeCover'.  That way you can be sure that AB doesn't take any Short or Cover action.

Buy = Cover = yourSignal;

Buy = ( Buy AND Name() == "LongETF" ) OR
( Short AND Name() == "ShortETF" );

Sell = ( Sell AND Name() == "LongETF" ) OR
( Cover AND Name() == "ShortETF" );
