[amibroker] Re: Selling by percent drawdown

["jacquesmmathieu" <jacquesmmathieu@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, that other code didn't work correctly because of that 
reason, but I used applystop and it works fine.

New code:

Buy = RSI() < 25;
Sell = RSI() > 50;
a = Optimize( "max. loss stop level", 20, 2, 30, 1 ); 
ApplyStop(stopTypeLoss, stopModePercent, a, True );
