Hello,
YOU MUST USE APPLYSTOP instead of ExRemSpan !!!
Sell = 0; //
|ApplyStop( *stopTypeNBar*, *stopModeBars*, 5 );| // 5- day stop !!!
That is the ONLY way of implementing N-bar stop that works
in ALL backtest modes !
Best regards,

That should read:
Sell = Ref(ExRemSpan(Buy, 5), -5);

Subject: [amibroker] Help Please !!!How to control sell time with Barsince
for more than 1 stocks?
Hi,
Basically I scan 500 stocks everyday to find stocks that have buy
signal(such as price have crossed MA 50). Then I buy the stocks and exit them
in 5 days after I boought them.
MA=EMA(C,50);
Buy = Cross( MA, C );
Sell = BarsSince(Buy)>5;
But the backtester don't sell stocks exactly 5 days after I bought them.
Say yesterday I bought stock A, today I bought stock B.
The backtester will sell both A and B 5 days after today, which is not what
I really want!
What I want is to sell stock A 5 days after the time I bought A which is
yesterday not today.
Basically I want to have sell time for each stock to be 5 days after their
individaul purchase dates.
But "Sell = BarsSince(Buy)>5;" can't do that.
Please help!
Thanks a lot
Tao
