Re: [amibroker] Long/Short Variable

[ShortFox]

Wes,
 
Using the custom backtester would be the most flexible approach. If you need to track changes of trade variables in first phase, and adjust the stop accordingly, I'd go for a general loop as follows:
 
for (i=0; i<=Barcount-1; 1++) 
{
   Buy[i] = ...
   BuyPrice[i] = ...
   Short[i] = ...
   ShortPrice[i] = ...
}
 
In this loop, you can adjust the stop (and other variables) in every interation. Alternatively, if only the Sell/Cover portion (i.e, Stops) are "dependent", you can define your buy/short criteria in first phase (formula) mode, and use the Custom Backtester only for exits. 

 
Like in life, it's your needs that dictate which route would be the most appropriate.
 
Short.

If you don't need the answer to consider your next trade you can use FLIP after your Buy Sell Short Cover statements. 

If you need it to trade, I write a loop to "pre-trade" the system. Then use Buy Sell Short Cover after the loop. In the loop you can track your status. 

You can use the custom backtester as mentioned, but I find that much more difficult (for me) than the above.
 
 
PS:
 
Buy = cond;
Etc.

You may want to view some custom backtester documentation.
