[amibroker] Translating a system from Tradestation

["droskill" <droskill@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey all - trying to translate a system but having some issues.  Here's
the original EasyLanguage:

Input: StopPts  (30);  { Size of money management stop, points }
Var:   TR       (0);   { True Range }

TR = TrueRange;

Condition1 = TR < TR[1] and TR < TR[2];
Condition2 = C > C[14] and C < C[2];
Condition3 = C < C[14] and C > C[2];

If Condition1 and Condition2 then
    Buy next bar at Highest(H, 2) stop;

If Condition1 and Condition3 then
    Sell short next bar at Lowest(L, 2) stop;

If MarketPosition = 1 and C > EntryPrice and BarsSinceEntry >= 1 then
    Sell this bar at close;

If MarketPosition = -1 and C < EntryPrice and BarsSinceEntry >= 1 then
    Buy to cover this bar at close;

If MarketPosition = 1 then
    Sell next bar at EntryPrice - StopPts stop;
 
If MarketPosition = -1 then
    Buy to Cover next bar at EntryPrice + StopPts stop;


-----------------------------------
Here's what I've got - it ain't working:

TR1 = abs(H-L);
TR2 = abs(H-Ref(C,-1));
TR3 = abs(Ref(C,-1)-L);

TRa = Max(TR1,TR2);
TRb = Max(TR2,TR3);
TR  = Max(TRa,TRb);

Condition1 = TR < Ref(TR,-1) AND TR < Ref(TR,-2);
Condition2 = C > Ref(C,-14) AND C < Ref(C,-2);
Condition3 = C < Ref(C,-14) AND C > Ref(C,-2);

Buy = Condition1 AND Condition2;
BuyPrice = HHV(H,2);

Sell = C > BuyPrice AND BarsSince(Buy) >= 1;

Short = Condition1 AND Condition3;
ShortPrice = LLV(L,2);

Cover = C < ShortPrice AND BarsSince(Short) >= 1;

ApplyStop(stopTypeLoss,stopModePoint,30,0);

------------------------------
Any thoughts greatly appreciated.
