[amibroker] highest and lowest values in during a trade

["murthysuresh" <money@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am trying to get the highest and lowest values during the trade, 
however it returns 0. maybe something is wrong. can someone check. I 
dont want the MFE and MAE from the backtester objects.

bo.PreProcess(); // initialize the backtester
	myHigh=0;
	myLow=100000000;
	entryEnabled=false;
    exitEnabled=false;
	for( bar=0;bar<BarCount;bar++){  // loop thro all the bars
		
		
			for (sig = bo.GetFirstSignal(bar); sig; sig = 
bo.GetNextSignal(bar))
				{ // Loop through all signals at this 
bar
					if (sig.IsEntry() && 
sig.IsLong()) // Process long entries
							{
							
	bo.EnterTrade(bar, sig.Symbol, True, 
EntryPrice ,sig.possize); 
							
	entryEnabled=true;
								_TRACE
("ABTest: "+ GetChartID()  +  " entryEnabled=true; "  );
							}
							
					else
						{
						if (sig.IsExit() && 
sig.IsLong()) // Process long exits
							{
							
	bo.ExitTrade(bar, sig.Symbol,Exitprice);
								 
exitEnabled=true;
								 
_TRACE("ABTest: "+ GetChartID()  +  "  exitEnabled=true; "  );
							}
						}


					if (sig.IsEntry() && !
sig.IsLong()) // Process short entries. WATCH IT SAYS NOT ISLONG.
							{
							
	bo.EnterTrade(bar, sig.Symbol, True, 
EntryPrice ,sig.possize); 
								_TRACE
("ABTest: "+ GetChartID()  +  " is short entry  
entryEnabled=true;  "  );
							
	entryEnabled=true;
							}

					else
						{
						if (sig.IsExit() && !
sig.IsLong()) // Process short  exits
							{
							
	bo.ExitTrade(bar, sig.Symbol,Exitprice);
								 
exitEnabled=true;
								_TRACE
("ABTest: "+ GetChartID()  +  " exitEnabled=true;  is short exit "  );
								
	
							}
						}


					


				}// End of for loop over signals at 
this bar
			bo.HandleStops(bar); // Handle programmed 
stops at this bar
	

			for (trade = bo.GetFirstOpenPos(); trade; 
trade = bo.GetNextOpenPos())
				{ // Loop through all open positions
					if (trade.GetProfit() >= 
trade.GetEntryValue()) // If time to scale-in
						{
							scaleSize = 
trade.GetEntryValue() / 2; // Scale-in the trade
							bo.ScaleTrade
(bar, trade.Symbol, True, trade.GetPrice(bar, "C"), 
DEFAULT_POSITION_SIZE);
						}
				} // End of for loop over trades at 
this bar
			bo.UpdateStats(bar, 1); // Update MAE/MFE 
stats for bar
			bo.UpdateStats(bar, 2); // Update stats at 
bar's end
			
			if((entryEnabled==true) && 
(exitEnabled==false)){
			
				if(H[bar]>=myHigh){
				myHigh=H[bar];
				_TRACE("ABTest: "+ GetChartID()  
+  "new high" +  writeval(H[bar])); 
				}
				if(L[bar]<=myLow){
				myLow=L[bar];
				_TRACE("ABTest: "+ GetChartID()  
+  "new low "); 
				}
				
			}
			
			
		} // End of for loop over bars
	

// pull custom metrics for backtester
// iterate through closed trades first
for( trade = bo.GetFirstTrade(); trade; trade = bo.GetNextTrade() )
{// go thro each trade
	trade.AddCustomMetric("MAE $", StrFormat( "%.4f",  
trade.GetMAE()) );
	trade.AddCustomMetric("MFE $", StrFormat( "%.4f", trade.GetMFE
() ) );
	trade.AddCustomMetric("Highhest high", myHigh);
	
	//trade.AddCustomMetric("Total Drawdown ", StrFormat
( "%.4f",  trade.getvalue("MaxTradeDrawdown")  ) );
	}// end of iterating thro trades
	//bo.ListTrades(); this is not needed for custom advanced  
backtester
// end of pulling custom metrics

bo.PostProcess(); // Do post-processing

}// end of check for inside backtester


// end of custom backtester
