Hi Thomas,
Those links helped me a lot. Thanks!
I still have some questions however. I now better understand the "for"
statement, but could you please give me some precision on this?
priceatbuy=0;
highsincebuy = 0;
exit = 0;
for( i = 0; i < BarCount; i++ )
{
if( priceatbuy == 0 AND

Hi,
Ok I am trying to experiment with stoploss and profittarget to try and
understand how it works. Here is the example given in the help files:
Buy = Cross( MA( C, 10 ), MA( C, 50 ) );
Sell = 0;
// the system will exit
// 50% of position if FIRST PROFIT TARGET stop is hit
// 50% of position i
Hi,
I experimented with those, and found a bug I think.. Here is the code:
//
SetOption("UseCustomBacktestProc", False);
//
SetOption("MaxOpenPositions", 5 );
SetOption("InitialEquity", 10 );
SetOption("AllowPositionShrinking", True );
SetOption ("AllowSameBarExit", False);
SetOption ("Activa
Louis,
the setoption syntax can be found in the manual or here:

to examples in the AB library.

No, you don't need custom backtest
Hi,
Ok I think I understand... If I want to use custom values, I need to build
the code for the backtesting, and then I will have to click the "Enable
custom backtest procedure" button. I can't just use what's there and add
some things to it.
So, basically, if I want to:

Indeed. And a nice framework for AB beginners can be found here:

The Help file will explain.
Help > SetOptions
Help > BuyPrice
Help> Applystop
The Help files are full of good examples of code.

Hi Chris,
Thanks a lot for the explanation! Do you know where I could see some
example of this code? I mean, a complete code with all the ideas that you
explained to me below? I learn a lot by modifying existing code and I am
not sure what to do with " setoptions( 1 .);" as an example
Louis
In general if you use AFL to code stuff this overrides the Settings
values (not always)
Using the Settings values for Applystops is a great way to start.
If you want to use the above code in your backtester formula just try
something like this:
// Set all options here:
setoptions( 1
Hi,
Where exactly should I put this code? I am still a beginner and I feel
confident about modifying the code for the charts and building a system with
buy,sell, short and cover, but where should I put the information about
this?
I already can modify some variables with the "settings" button wit

Ok I got an easier question and I hope I'll be clear at first! ;-)
I already use the stop/loss option at 10% stop. But I'd like to have
a changing stop:
Example:
Close<10 // I'd like a stop of 10%
Close>10 AND Close<35 //I'd like a stop of 5%
Close>50 // I'd like a stop of 2.5%
I think you get
15 matches
