ApplyStop at 10% of ATR/ADR

buy=xxxxxx
sell=xxxxxx
short=xxxxx
cover=xxxxx
ApplyStop(stopTypeTrailing, stopModePoint, (10*ATR(14)/100), True, True );


Is this correct way to apply stoploss at 10% of ATR to long/short entries? If not, kindly provide the correct syntax.

Also, I wanted to use Average Daily Range, but could not find the indicator AFL. Can someone please provide adr code? again 10% of adr stop....though should be same but....gotta ask ;-)

Thanks.

Plotting Help requested

How to plot an Applystop as a dot or dash/underscore below/above the entry arrows, so the price smashing a stop can be visually be seen?

Also, how to colour bars, so that those closing below a moving average are red and those closing above a moving average are green....colouring logic not to be based upon open/close.

Please do help.

Thanks & best regards.
Sanjay.

Possible verification:

1. Check that the daily data has been imported correctly -- Symbol -> Quote Editor

2. Check that you are viewing daily charts -- View -> Daily

Hi!

Yes.. I can see all the symbols with open, high, low close & volume and view also shows as daily.
I have a doubt that Can we see charts by just importing a .txt file which is having only script name, open, high, low details.

Thanks

I downloaded EOD data of 26/11/10, 29/11/10 & 30/11/10 in .txt format using Bhavcopy.
I imported all .txt files im amibroker by using import ASCII. I can see the datas for the above dates in quatation editor. But still Im unable to see any charts. How can i combine all three .txt files or have any other solutions for this?

Thanks

Hi,

I have Amibroker Ver 5.1, When I add the indicaters like RSI, Stochistic, MACD etc..

It is coming in the chart area and somtimes ovelap with chart (see attached chart).

But I want to have it at bottom of the chart instead of overlaping with the candlestick chart.

How to do that..?

When you add it to the chart that's where it will come out. Either open up the indicator thru the formula editor and the click to add or from the chart panel - double click the indicator instead of dragging it over.

You mean in the same pane or different pane?
If diff pane then,
Go to File>>New >>Blank pane and then drag and drop whatever indicator....
