[amibroker] apply n-bar stops

["holygrail168" <holygrail168@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

My codes shown below.

Basically, I want a trade signal when the Buy conditions are met and 
my buy price is the day after where it purchases at the buy limit 
price or the opening price, depending on which is lower.

However, there are 3 conditions for the sell.  I have 

1) a stop loss
2) a profit sell
3) an n-bar stop which automatically sells after the 3rd day at the 
days open at market price

my problem is that the n-bar stop NEVER sells at the days open on the 
3rd day after the trade is executed.  it ALWAYS sells at the days 
high.

i've e-mailed amibroker support and basically what happened they 
informed me according to my formula below, and they say that my 
SellPrice is overriding the 'Backtester Settings' to Sell Price at 
Open.

Now this seems quite bizzare to me because if thats the case, it 
seems to me the way Amibroker is set-up, I can't set a profit limit 
sell price and command amibroker to sell my nbarstop at the market's 
opening price.

it seems to me amibroker should have some sort of functionality such 
that when the applystop is being executed, the sellprice should be 
void and it should either be traded on the 'backtester settings' 
options or there should be an additional variable included into the 
applystop function to allow you to choose how the nbar stop price 
should be.

can anyone assist me with this problem?


Buy = Ref(Cond1 AND Cond2 AND Cond3 ,-1) AND L <= BuyLimitPrice;


BuyPrice = Min(O,BuyLimitPrice);
SellPrice = Max(O,SellLimitPrice); 

Sell = IIf(H >= SellLimitPrice;

ApplyStop(stopTypeNBar,stopModeBars,2, 0, False, 2);
ApplyStop(stopTypeLoss,stopModePoint,StopLimitPrice,True,False,1);
