Looking more closely I would switch sell and short. applystop will stop buy with a sell not a short and stop a short with a cover not a buy. So have something like
sell = cover = 0 applystop( ... buy = cross(ma(c, 3), ma(c, 13)) short = cross(ma(c, 13), ma(c, 3)) exrem( ... exrem( ... equity( ... filter = ... addcolumn( ...
