Re: [amibroker] CBI: Getting Trade direction (bool IsLong)

a.. bool IsLong

True if trade is long, False otherwise

So inside your custom backtester code write:


if( trade.IsLong ) ....

  Hello,

  I need to access the trade direction inside my CBI code or in other words i 
want to know if trade.GetProfit comes from a long or short trades and depending 
on the direction i want to make different R-Multiple calculations. My 
calculation should look like 

  if ( IsLong )
  {
  RMultiple = trade.GetProfit() / Long_InitialRiskAtEntry; 
  }
  else 
       RMultiple = trade.GetProfit() / Short_InitialRiskAtEntry;

  Can someone tell me how to do it ?
  Thanks in advance !

  Regards
