Hi Tomasz, Are you talking about the Preferences within the Tool menu bar?
Or are you talking about the Settings button in the Automatic Analysis where there is a tab for Long trades and Short Trades? It allows me to choose open, close, high, low and average but I don't understand why this setting exists since aren't we supposesd to set Buy Prices or Sell prices in our formula? I've set all the prices to Open anyhow. I've tried the backtester again but the n-bar stop keeps exiting at the exit days high. Is there some sort of code I need to include in my AFL formula to tell it to use these settings within the Automatic Analysis tool? I've just lost a fair bit fo money because of this so I'd really like to get to the bottom of it. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong. I'm using Amibroker 4.90 Thanks, --- In [email protected], "Tomasz Janeczko" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > It will exit at trade price as defined in preferences.
