Hi,

the following backtest doesn�t work:
Buy just before close of the current day if High of today > High of yesterday. Sell/Exit if Low of today < Low of yesterday. And I want to backtest only one stock, e.g. Facebook. Can anyone help me to get it run? Thank you!

// Buy rules

Rule1 = (HistoPrice(_high,0)) > (HistoPrice(_high,1));
buy = Rule1;

// Sell rules

Rule2 = (HistoPrice(_low,0)) < (HistoPrice(_low,1));
sell = Rule2

have you tried the "ref" function rather than HistoPrice?
buy = high>ref(high,1);
sell = low<ref(low,1);
This works for me, rather than histoprice

Great! Thank you, it�s working with the "ref" function. BTW: is ref(high,1) the same as high[1]?

ref(high,1) is indeed the same as high[1]

Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
