reverseLong and reverseShort documentation? - 02/17/18 00:51

The manual has mentioning of the functions reverseLong and reverseShort in some example scripts, but there does not seem to be a dedicated page explaining the functions and parameters they take. Will that be added?

These functions were replaced since 1.66, from What's new:
Quote:
Zorro 1.66 (released September 2017)
[...]
The "reverse" helper functions have been replaced by the MaxLong / MaxShort variables.

I'm also looking for documentation on how reverseLong and reverseShort works.

In the Zorro documentation there is this example:
// if rsi crosses over buy level, exit short and enter long
if(crossOver(rsi12,75))
reverseLong(1);
// if rsi crosses below sell level, exit long and enter short
if(crossUnder(rsi12,25))
reverseShort(1);

Can someone explain what is the relation between this example and the MaxLong and MaxShort variable?

The only place I found some information was the in the include file default.c, but I was not able to understand it.

att,
jm

reverseLong(1) was the same as MaxLong = 1; enterlong();.

It just limits the number of open trades and updates currently open trades.
