Amibroker Exit Issue

[Homer2]

Hi All

I am learning to code in Amibroker and cant figure out why I get this error during backtesting

I want to use

IIf(Foreign("XAO","C") > EMA(Foreign("XAO","C"),75), Sell = C < EMA(C,50), Sell = C < EMA(C,30));

but all sell signals seem to be using the 30 day MA even when XAO is above 75 day MA.

Any suggestions?

thanks.

thanks.

How about doing something like:


AORD = Foreign("XAO,"Close");

Sell = (AORD<EMA(AORD,30) AND (some other condition)) OR (AORD<EMA(AORD,75) AND (some other code));

Thanks I'll give it a try!

You are not using Iif function correctly! Read the help file about coding errors.

Correct way:

XAO = Foreign( "XAO","C" );
mycondition = IIf( XAO > EMA( XAO, 75 ), C < EMA( C, 50 ), C < EMA( C, 30 ) );

Sell = mycondition;

New I was missing something obvious. Thanks.
