mac_bosh: Thank you very much, that did the trick for getting the correct
values.
I am now battling with preventing the stop widening - in TradeStation 2000i it
is coded as:
IF (averagePrice >= averagePrice[1 day ago] AND
averagePrice[1 day ago] >= averagePrice[2 days ago] AND
buystop < buystop [ 1day day ago]
THEN
buystop = buystop[1 day ago];
I translated it as:
notWideningBuyStop = IIf(averagePrice >= Ref(averagePrice, -1) &&
Ref(averagePrice,-1) >= Ref(averagePrice,-2), Ref(Buystop,-1), Buystop);
However I am still seeing the stop widening and wonder what I am doing wrong.
Further in TradeStation the sell and buy stops are plotted as seperate stops
(large dots) but I can only display small dots on a line. Is it perhaps best to
plot this as a staircase? (another part that I need to attack).
Many tahnks in advance, Marinus
