[amibroker] Re: Help on Debugging this If-Else Loop

[ozzyapeman]

Still toying around with this and still can't get it to work. I just
can't seem to figure out how to specify the current price.  Thought that
the ValueWhen function might be able to help.

All I'm trying to achieve is this very simple test system, for Forex
Intraday:

1.   Buy Long position when the fast MA is above the slow MA2.   Sell
the Long position when the fast MA falls below the slow MA, AND the
current price is at least 10 pips higher than the original entry price.
3.   Enter Short position when fast MA is below the slow MA4.   Sell the
Short position when the fast MA rises above the slow MA, AND the current
price is at least 10 pips lower than the original entry price.
Code below.  Anyone?



Buy =  (myMA1 > MyMA2);
Short = (myMA1 < MyMA2); PriceAtBuy = 0;
PriceAtShort = 0;
for( i = 0; i < BarCount; i++ )
{
      if( PriceAtBuy == 0 AND Buy[ i ] )
      {
        PriceAtBuy = Buy[ i ];
        ValueAtBuy = ValueWhen(Buy[i]>0,C,1);
      }      if( PriceAtShort == 0 AND Short[ i ] )
      {
      PriceAtShort = ShortPrice[ i ];
      ValueAtShort = ValueWhen(Short[i]>0,C,1);
      }
        if(
          (myMA1[i] < MyMA2[i]) AND (PriceAtBuy > 0) AND (C[i] >
(ValueAtBuy[i] + 0.0010))
        )
      {
        Sell[ i ] = 1;
        PriceAtBuy = 0;

      }
      else
        Sell[ i ] = 0;
      if(
          (myMA1[i] > MyMA2[i])  AND (PriceAtShort > 0) AND (C[i] <
(ValueAtShort[i] - 0.0010))
        )
     {
        Cover[ i ] = 1;
        PriceAtShort = 0;
      }
      else
        Cover[ i ] = 0;
      }
