The issue is not with Buy=H or not. It’s with the other signals. If what you say was correct, the system would buy the high of every candle, which does not. Thanks anyway. Still looking for answers.   From: amibroker@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Fred Sent: Saturday, October 14, 2006 14:45 To: amibroker@yahoogroups.com Subject: [amibroker] Re: Help undestanding Arrays   Buy is like a light switch ... On or Off, it is NOT a methodology to take action at a price ... Buy = H ... Tells AB to Buy on EVERY BAR at the HIGH of that Bar ... Why ? ... because BUY and H are arrays ... Although incorrect ... If you had said ... Buy[i] = H[i]; ... The buy would probably have occured on the bar you wanted it to i.e. the same one where the cross occured ... but NOT at the High ... For Buys to occur at specific points you need to use the BuyPrice Array ... PS ... Buying at the H or L price of the current bar is never a good idea because these are unknown until the bar is no longer current. --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED]ps.com, "laster" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > Still trying to figure out working with Arrays, and it's apparent there is > something I am not getting. > > My understanding of the following is: If in the i bar the cross of the MACD > was true, then Buy at the High.
