Hello,
No ApplyStop() does "return" any value.
To generate exit signals using ApplyStop in indicator builder you have
to: define ApplyStops of your choice (1 or more).
Add Equity(1); after that and add 1 or more AlertIF statements.
Example:
ApplyStop( stopTypeLoss, stopModePercent, 6, 1 );
/// ... you may add more ApplyStops there
Equity( 1 ); // This causes that stops are evaluated and sell/cover arrays are filled
// with 2 - max loss, 3 - profit target, 4 - trailing stop
AlertIF( sell == 2, "", "Long Max Loss Stop", 0, 15, 0 );
AlertIF( cover == 2, "", "Short Max Loss Stop", 0, 15, 0 );
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
