Hi Markus,


Search for scaling in/out in the AFL help guide. There's an example of how to loop through your entry signals and then apply various stops and setting the exit signals and price.

Hi,



It will help you a lot.  I had the same questions and this book provide me with a start on how to do things a lot easier in AFL than you might think.

Hello,
 
I´m in the process of coding a proprietary stop for the first time.
 
Since I need to use low-level CBT for backtesting, I wonder how to implement the stops into my code.
 
I understood that a proprietary stop is actually nothing else than an additional sell rule (in case of a long positon), coded as a loop.
 
My question would be the following:
 
1. Can I leave the stop code in regular AFL part just as the buy and sell rules or do I need to write it in CBT part of the code?
2. Since I use low-level mode of CBT, I need to call bo.handlestops(i). Does it "recognize" the stop part of the code, or do I have to tell it somehow. Or do I only have to use it for stops coded as applystops?
 
Maybe, someone could provide a sample code, how proprietary stops are being implemented into CBT routine?!
 
Any help/suggestion is highly appreciated!
 
Thanks
 
Markus
