To solve this problem I decided to use CBI, however I am not getting
the results that I was expecting. Any help would be appreciated.
SetBacktestMode( backtestRegularRaw );
SetCustomBacktestProc("");
MinHoldingPer = 2;
if( Status("action") == actionPortfolio )
{
bo = GetBacktesterObject();
bo.PreProcess();
for( i = 0; i < BarCount; i++ )
{
for( OP = bo.GetFirstOpenPos(); OP; OP = bo.GetNextOpenPos() )
{
if ( OP.BarsInTrade >= MinHoldingPer)
Sellnow = 1;
}
bo.ProcessTradeSignals( i );
}
bo.PostProcess();
}
Sell = ExitLong OR SellNow == 1;
