You can clear the sell signal array and use ApplyStop, so the backtester will decide when to exit your trades. Like this:
Buy = ... Sell = 0; ApplyStop(stopTypeTrailing, stopModePoint, 3*ATR(14), True, True ); You can use ApplyStop more than once if you want more than one kind of stop. -Steve --- In [email protected], "Ken Close" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Curious and basic: I have a fairly good entry signal, and want to Buy on > this signal.
