[amibroker] AFL looping question!

Hello all,I couldn't be more pleased with all the Amibroker improvements lately, I am still often amazed what this fantastic piece of software is capable of. I am going wrong somewhere with the loop sample below when changing the expression: Close[ i ] priceatbuy * 1.2 ) into: Close[ i ]

Sanjiv, It sounds like number overflow... AmiBroker divides volumes by 100 to try and avoid this... however, if volume is huge you could still get number overflow and end up with negatives. It's the limitations of the variable type you are hitting, not data errors... in my view. --- In
