Thanks Cdkeylstra for your reply
The problem I was having was because I was not defining the BuyPrice.
I found this code on the web in Back Testing Your Trading Ideas which solved
the problem.
Buy = buyformula;
priceatbuy = 0;
for ( i = 0; i < BarCount; i++)
(
if ( priceatbuy == 0 && Buy[i]
priceatbuy = BuyPrice[i];
}
