Hi,

Why does the code below not work? No errors, it just wont buy anything.
And there is data avalaible on that date....

a = valuewhen(stringequal(date(), "01/01/1999"), close);
b= close-a;
rank1=comp(b,"rank");

buy= rank1<10;

regards,
Dennis

Dennis,

Why don't you plot it on a chart to see. You will get a visual confirmation.
By the way, there is no trading day on the first January.

@Dennis: just in case you are from Europe: try "MM/DD/YYYY" instead of "DD/MM/YYYY" for the date. It depends on the localisation of your .net environment.
