1. No, it has nothing to do with multiple positions. In AmiBroker this is SCALING IN/OUT and this is the way you should do this. (increasing / decreasing existing position).
2. If you have already open long position and want to BUY more you should use SCALE IN SIGNAL instead. Scale In signal should be with position size being NET result of your desired buy and sell at the same bar.

There are a lot of options to handle multiple positions within 1 symbol in Amibroker. On a portfolio level this is still on the to-do list I believe. For starters have a look here: http://www.amibroker.com/kb/2006/04/24/using-redundant-signals-for-entries/ but there is more material around also in the kb (knowledge base), rgds, Ed ----- Original Message ----- From: tiedemj To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, December 25, 2006 11:33 PM Subject: [amibroker] treatment of same bar sell and buy signals Hi If you hold a position, it seems, that if you get both a buy and a sell signal on the same bar for the symbol in your holding position, only the sell signal is executed - and the buy signal for that symbol is ignored in the selection of a new trade, so even if the symbol in question has the highest PositionScore value, it will not be selected. Is there a setting I can use to force the "buy" signal to be "executed"? (either by seperate buy/sell trades for the same symbol - or one trade that adjust the positionsize if needed)..
