[amibroker] Re: Position Opened When No Funds Available

["Brandon_Ridenour" <brandon_ridenour@xxxxxxxxx>]

By the way, i have trade delays for Buy and Short set to 1, meaning it buys on the morning after the signal is generated.  I just need it to use the available balance from either the day the signal was generated, or at the exact market open.  It seems to be calculating available funds/balance based on the close of the next day.
