Re: [amibroker] How to specify a different buy price than C,O,H,L, AV in Backtester AFL code?

[Howard B <howardbandy@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Nugget --

Try this:

//    BuyAtANewHigh.afl
//
//    Buy if today's high is at least 1% higher than yesterday's high


TargetPrice = 1.01 * Ref( H, -1 );
Buy = H > TargetPrice;
BuyPrice = TargetPrice;
Sell = BarsSince( Buy ) >= 2;

///////////////////////////


Thanks,
Howard

I need to know how to specify a different buy price than C,O,H,L,AV in Backtester AFL code. I use TeleChart end of day data. For example I want to buy if and when a stock tops yesterday's High by 1%. In other words if today's High is at least 1% higher than yesterday's High then I would get a buy signal at some time during the trading day regardless if the stock closes 1% or more higher or not. How do I code this in AFL?
