Hi, Unfortunately, I am not sure how to use this thing:
// Set all options here: > setoptions( 1 .........); > setoptions(2. ........) ; > setoptions(3. ........) ; //etcetera > BuyPrice = SellPrice = Open;// or whatever you want > SetTradeDelays( 1,1,0,00; // etc. > > // Define Buy and Sell conditions > > Buy1 = myBuyCondition: > Sell = 0; // if you have only use Applystops to exit. > > amount = IIF(Close < 10, ... , ... ); // etcetera > Applystop(stoptypeL oss,..... ....); // etcetera. > > Equity(); // this helps to plot arrows on the charts so you can > confirm > if AB is doing what you told it to do. > // if not you have goofed up code somewhere and > > //then plot your stuff I don't know what to do with the ".....".. I mean: what do I put there? Would it be possible to get an example of what can be done so I can have something to work from? I looked at the help files but found no examples about this kind of thing. I know how to use individually some "setoption" features, but I just don't get it... yet. I am still a beginner... I will catch up pretty quick, but I am not sure about this yet. Thanks! Louis 2008/2/22, Thomas Ludwig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Louis, > > > > Hi, > > > > Ok I think I understand...
