[amibroker] Buy and ScaleOut on same bar - please help!

["dralexchambers" <dralexchambers@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello - I am having trouble working out how to enter and scale out on 
the same bar:

This code enters my position:

if (entrybar[i]==1)
{
   Buy[i] = 1;
   BuyPrice[i] = O[i];
}

This code exits at a 5 point profit on the same bar:

if (entrybar[i]==1)
{
   Buy[i] = sigScaleOut;
   BuyPrice[i] = O[i] + 5;    // ie. 5 points from my original 
buyprice
}

Then I finally sell:

if (exitbar[i]==1)
{
   Sell[ i ] = 1; 
   SellPrice[i] = O[i];
}


However, the 5 point profit scaleout isn't working in the backtester 
- maybe because of two "Buyprice" instructions on the same bar???

Can anyone advise on the correct code to do this on the same bar 
please - thanks!
