[amibroker] Re: One Trade per Month

["readshark" <readshark@xxxxxxxxx>]

The problem with that is that it is just buying additional shares at the beginning of the month as opposed to only taking new signals once per month.  Also, my script uses sigScaleIn as well.  So I do not think I can use this to accomplish what I am after.

Thank you for the help though.  Of course, if I am wrong, I would love to have some additional help.

Kind regards.
