Hi Blair,
Thanks for your response!
For Problem 1, Mike gave me a simplier solution and it works fine.
For Problem 2, I used your code. Here is what I wrote:
achat=Buying condition (e.g. C>Ma (c,20);
arsignal = IIf(achat, 1,0);
arnotrade = IIf(HHV(arsignal,5)==1, 1, 0);
if (arnotrade=1)
{
//Sell =C< Ref (LLV (C,1),-1);
Sell=0;
//don't ACT on Buy/Sell Signals
// probably still want to calculate them
}
else
{
Sell =C< Ref (LLV (C,1),-1);
// code here for ACTING on your Buy/Sell signals
}
I used lowest value of 1 day only to test, but unfortuntately it does not
work... Should have an easiest way?!
Thanks!
Louis
