RE: [amibroker] How do you know what your last trade was

["Herman van den Bergen" <psytek@xxxxxxxx>]

In many cases, after your definition of the raw Buy and Sell signals you can
create a position array like so:

LongPosition = Flip(Buy,Sell);
ShortPosition = Flip(Short,Cover);

You can update these arrays each time you change the signals by repeating
these statements, for example after an ApplyStop().

best regards,
herman

  I want to write stop logic, but since its based on a logical test I
  cannot seem to use the applystop function.

  Therefore  it seems I will need to have another Cover /Sell statement
  which will only be triggered if I already have an opposite position.
  i.e. Cover if am already Short and my stop condition is true, and
  Sell if I am already long and that stop position is true.

  This means I need to know what my current position is, and my
  question is how do I do this. I know Wealthlab has a Position Array
  but I can't find anything similar in AB.

  I am sure there must be a way to do this. Would be grateful if
  someone could provide the code.

  Thanks
