Thanks Anthony What I would like to do is put some simple buy and sell signals in there as well
ie. - When it gaps up on open and then heads back down closes into the previous days range, I would like to short the stock on the next trading day at open and cover at close (assuming its a down day, no stops required) - I would like to do the opposite gaps down on open. To buy at open on next trading day, and sell at close If you have time to help me out with this , that would be great, if not, i appreciate the help you've given me so far ALSO, how can become as proficient as you at this stuff, will howard bandy's book on 'Intro to AB' help me out? Any advice would be grand Cheers ________________________________ From: Anthony Faragasso <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Fri, 25 December, 2009 12:46:30 PM Subject: Re: [amibroker] Re: Code for AFL on a reversal day.
