Re: [amibroker] How to sell at +5 or -5
Hello, Buy and Sell are boolean variables. Using arithmatic operators / operations on them won't yield correct results. You will need to obtain closing price on buying candle first and then use it in your condition for Sell. Something like this : Buy = \\your buying condition BuyingPrice = . \\ obtain price on candle which signalled Buy Sell = (BuyingPrice+5) OR (BuyingPrice-5); Regards, Abhay On Fri, Jun 11, 2010 at 1:28 PM, Prabu prabui...@gmail.com wrote: Still the result is same.

Re: [amibroker] How to sell at +5 or -5
(1) as 5 is small factor. This happens- replace it with- Sell = (Buy*1.1) OR (Buy*.9); this sells when price is 10 % above or 10% bellow the buy. btw: are u trying it on eod data?

Re: [amibroker] How to sell at +5 or -5
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...@gmail.com wrote: Still the result is same. (selling on the same bar).

@prabhu: try this. e1 = MA(*C*, 14); e2 = MA(*C*, 5); *Buy* = Cross(e2, e1); pb= ValueWhen(Cross(e2, e1),*C*); * Sell*=IIf(*C*pb+5,*True*,IIf(*C*pb-5,*True*,*False*)); @mike: without IIF sell condition shall always be true.
