Re: [amibroker] Oddity with ApplyStop

["ed nl" <ed2000nl@xxxxxxx>]

Owen,

 

I didn't test this but I think that doesn't matter. I would guess your stop :Sell=Ref(Buy,-1); SellPrice=O; is viewed as an N-bar stop (but I could be wrong).

 

Did you try to set the N-bar stop: "has priority" and you still get the false result?

 

(see figure)

In this case, the profit target stop was the only one in use. The other
exits were hand coded.

Thanks for the thought, though, and the link.  I'd missed the note on
the order in which stops are evaluated, and this is very much worth knowing.
