[amibroker] Re: Why "Reverse entry signal forces exit" does not work for me?

["Mike" <sfclimbers@xxxxxxxxx>]

Your long position is being closed out when RSI moves above 70 because your Sell logic is telling it to. You have not shown any other "target or stop price" logic in your example.

You are also adopting a new Short position when RSI moves above 70 because your Short logic is telling it to.

In other words, it is your own code that is causing the stop and reverse position, not AmiBroker.

To verify this, change your Sell logic to anything different than the Short logic.

e.g. 3 consecutive up days:
Sell = Sum(Close > Ref(Close, -1), 3) == 3;
