Ah ha! This is the proper way to buy at the Open price (O). This is what you want to do to simulate putting in an order to buy before the market opens. I don't believe I have seen this described anywhere in the docs, but I may have missed it since I hadnt been looking for it. Note that the Buy expression is checking the previous bar's condition (i.e. Ref(condition, -1)). You should not buy at the open price based on any other information for that time (i.e. H, L, C, V), because that would require time travel, but AmiBroker lets you do it without warning. Most code examples assume Buy at the Close based on any information during that time bar. Thanks emp! dan ------------------------ Yahoo!
