That is definitely not the correct way to do it. Any non zero value means "true". Your Sell logic is always going to be a non zero value the way you currently have it, therefore you will Sell on every bar.
There are two approaches that you can try: - Use ApplyStop with trailing stop and profit target stop. - Use an offset of the *price* at the time of the Buy. e.g. something like this (untested, I'm going to bed now) PriceBought = ValueWhen(Buy, BuyPrice); Sell = Close < PriceBought - 5 OR Close > PriceBought + 5; Mike --- In amibroker@yahoogroups.com, Prabu <prabui...@...> wrote: > > I think this is not the right way of sell condition.. > > Sell = (Buy+6) OR (Buy-5); > > > > On Fri, Jun 11, 2010 at 1:28 PM, Prabu <prabui...@...> wrote: > > > Still the result is same.
