AAsettings is just a variable name just like abc, xyz, myvar & ....
It is not a AB function or reserve word. That is why I could not find
any info on it in the user guide. Ara kindly referred me Status() in
the user guide. It was used by someone on this board that had I
copied. It is used to make the code more legible and elegant. All
variables are be initialized. So the following is the correct usage:
AASettings = Status("action"); //Initialize the variable AAsettings
if (AASettings == 1)
{
Buy = ExRem(Buy, Sell);
Sell = ExRem(Sell, Buy);
Short = ExRem(Short, Cover);
Cover = ExRem(Cover, Short);
}
else if (AASettings == 4)
{
AddColumn(Equity(), "Equity");
AddColumn( IIf( Buy, 66, 83 ), "Signal", formatChar );
AddColumn(Volume, "Volume");
}
the above code could have been written without using the variable
AAsetting as follows:
if (Status("action") == 1)
{
Buy = ExRem(Buy, Sell);
Sell = ExRem(Sell, Buy);
Short = ExRem(Short, Cover);
Cover = ExRem(Cover, Short);
}
else if (Status("action") == 4)
{
AddColumn(Equity(), "Equity");
AddColumn( IIf( Buy, 66, 83 ), "Signal", formatChar );
AddColumn(Volume, "Volume");
}
