[amibroker] Re: Stoploss that moves to break-even point and stays there

["smrcek18" <smrcek18@xxxxxxxxx>]

Anyone knows what is wrong with the code below?  It gives me strange results. It ignores BreakevenTarget variable...

BreakevenTarget = 5;
priceatbuy=0;
highsincebuy = 0;

for( i = 0; i < BarCount; i++ )
{
   if( priceatbuy == 0 AND Buy[ i ] )
     {
       priceatbuy = BuyPrice[ i ];
     }
   if( priceatbuy > 0 )
     {
       highsincebuy = Max( High[ i ], highsincebuy );
      if( highsincebuy >= ( 1 + BreakevenTarget * 0.01 ) * priceatbuy )
       {
       // 5% target hit
		sellpercent = 0;
       } else {
		sellpercent = 1;
	}
     }
} 

ApplyStop(stopTypeLoss, stopModePercent, sellpercent,exitatstop=True,volatile=True,ReEntryDelay=False);
