hi, what you need to do is define your Buy rule like:
Buy = Cond1 AND Cond2 ... etc; then in the Buyprice you define as: BuyPrice = MAX(0.25 * Ref(ATR(45),-1) + Ref(L,-1),O); regards, Ed ----- Original Message ----- From: Christy Wagner To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, January 01, 2009 4:56 PM Subject: [amibroker] buyprice/open problem Hello, I am trying to test a trading system and I am running into a slight problem. I am wanting to take yesterdays low + 0.25 * ref(atr(45),-1) to come up with a buyprice. If todays open is below the buyprice and todays high is above the buyprice everything works as planned. However, if todays open is above the buyprice instead of going long at the open (which is what I want to do) I am going long at the low of the day, which is impossible. Here is my code. BuyPrice = 0.25 * Ref(ATR(45),-1) + Ref(L,-1); Buy=IIf(Cond1 AND Cond2 AND O > BuyPrice, Open,IIf(cond1 AND cond2 AND O < BuyPrice AND H > BuyPrice,BuyPrice,0)); What I am trying to get this to do is if today at the open is above the buyprice I have set to enter long at the open, otherwise if today's open is below the buyprice and today's high is above the buyprice go long at the buyprice. can someone take a look and help me out? Thanks Eric
