Hi GP Both good points. I'm afraid I'm at the start of my learning curve on AFL. 1. Triggerpoint is supposed to be the value at the Longsetup. 2. No, of course, would not want to buy if a stop had been triggered in the meantime. Suppose would want to enter within 5 bars. How should code be amended? Here's my attempt:
Longsetup = xxx; period = 5; Triggerpoint = ValueWhen (Longsetup, HHV(H,3)); Buy = Cross(H,Triggerpoint) AND BarsSince (Longsetup)<=period AND Sell == 0; What do you think? --- In [email protected], "gp_sydney" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > A couple of issues here. > > Firstly, is Triggerpoint supposed to be the value at the Longsetup bar > or the current bar?
