Multiple values for TakeProfit Stop

[pmfiorini]

I would like to have multiple TakeProfit percentages for both long and short trades.

For example, (here's what I have tried)

ProfitPctVal = Optimize( "ProfitPctVal", 1.0, 0.05, 2.00, 0.05 );     

IIf( Buy, ProfitPctVal = 1.65, ProfitPctVal = 1.0 );

ApplyStop( stopTypeProfit, stopModePoint , ProfitPctVal, ExitAtStop = 1, Volatile = True );        

In the above code, if the trade is long, then the ProfitPctVal = 1.65, but If the trade is short, then
ProfitPctVal = 1.0.

But, when I check explore, it only seems to take profit using the value 1.0...

Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks in advance...

IIf function versus if statement

As mentioned by @fxshrat in ValueWhen - how to use a typical mistake users make is that they mix up if statement with IIf() function. IIf() (which stands for "immediate if") is a function, which means it takes arguments and returns the result result = IIf( condition, YesValue, NoValue ); It works with both numbers (scalars) and arrays. When any of arguments is an array it returns array. It goes bar by bar, checks condition again bar by bar and returns either corresponding array value from Yes…

But also documentation of IIf() function already explains how to use it
https://www.amibroker.com/guide/afl/iif.html

So you are simply applying IIf() function incorrectly.

Correct one:

ProfitPctVal = IIf( Buy, 1.65, 1.0 );
