ExRem is used like a toggle\latch. AmiBroker uses arrays extensively. So for EXRem(Buy, Sell) the first instance of "Buy" in the array would return a "1", all following "Buys" would return a "0" until a "Sell" was encountered. The "Sell" resets the output so that the next "Buy" would output a "1".

Stop playing with toys. If you cannot afford serious programs stay away from trading.

What are you talking about? Do you know it has a trial version?

See you are really not familiar with Amibroker....

And I am a serious potential buyer...
