Hi Graham,
i've put together a volatility breakout system that i'm having
fun with back testing,,,it buys at a calculation above the bar,,,used
buyprice=calculation.It sells using sell=barssince(buy)== number of days
what i'd like to do next is apply a fixed stop below the buy bar incase of a
reversal,,,and i'd like to nominate a calculation for that stop price.
the stop isn't a fixed percentage or a trailing stop but a calculation that is
the inverse of the buy calculation ,,,the buy side works so i know i've got my
calculation written correctly,,,which in its self was a learning curve learning
the B.E.D.M.A.S
i read up on applystop and thought i could use that function,,,so i'm after a
stop by calculation that's fixed ie doesn't trail or move and is defined by my
calculation,,,,and is exit on stop.
this is where i got to
applystop(type,mode,amount,exitatstop,volatile,reentrydelay)
type=0 //maxstoploss
mode ,,,??
amount,,,??? somehow i need to introduce the calculation here i think ???
exitatstop=1 ,,,,true exit on stop price
volatile=false
reentrydelay=0
over
Paul
more detail required, by me at least, as I am not sure what conditions you
require for the stop to be used
