[amibroker] Re: Custm backtester - calling methods and properties

["Mike" <sfclimbers@xxxxxxxxx>]

You can call object methods anytime you have a valid object. The question is, where did the trade object come from?

It is perfectly valid, for example, to do something like:

trade = bo.GetFistTrade();

for (sig = bo.GetFirstSignal(i);sig; sig = GetNextSignal(i)) {
  ...
  if (trade.GetPositionvalue() >= 50000)
    sig.PosSize=0;
  ...
}
