Your code should work in retrieving the Open price on the day you buy. You probably should get the BuyPrice in case trade delays are set.
However, you will need to use loops to affect the results because when using array processing you cannot affect the array with code below the original line. That's probably a confusing statement. I would need more of your code to make any recommendations. -- Terry -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of cohndw Sent: Sunday, July 23, 2006 21:50 To: [email protected] Subject: [amibroker] Triggering a Chandelier trailing stop with % favorable price excursion I am trying to calculate the % favorable price excursion based on the current price vs the buy price, and then turn on a Chandelier trailing stop if a % favorable price excursion threshhold is hit to lock in more profits. I am unable to grab the buyprice on the first buy (opening price). The code I am using is shown below. OpenPrice = BeginValue(ValueWhen(Buy>0,Open,1)); Thanks, Dave Please note that this group is for discussion between users only.
