TJ:

I believe you need one minor correction in your BuyPrice statement. I think
you need to state:

BuyPrice = Max(O,Stoplevel);

because in your example, suppose the open was 10.45 rather than 10.10, and
the stock price went down thereafter. Your buyprice would then necessarily
have to be the open, not the lower stoplevel.
