Tomasz:
I understand the code for a protective stop but its
the running trailing stop that has me stumped. The following code probably won't
work for a trailing stop using the previous days low (long
position):
Amount = -(L-ref(L,-1)); // Amount should be
positive???ApplyStop( stopTypeTrailing , stopModePoint, Amount, True, True
);
What happens when "Amount" is
negative?

question
Ted,
It is quite simple:
ApplyStop( stopTypeLoss, stopModePoint, BuyPrice - Ref( Low,
-1 ), True );
(this is for long only system if you want long and short
then it will look like this:)
Amount = IIF( buy, BuyPrice - Ref( Low, -1 ), Ref( High, -1
) - ShortPrice );
ApplyStop( stopTypeLoss, stopModePoint, Amount, True
);
Explanation:
amount (distance) is measured in dollars from buyprice
(shortprice).
So to exit at previous bar stop the amount would be the
difference between
buyprice and prev day low.
Best regards,Tomasz

ApplyStop question
Thank you, Thomas, but no, that's not correct for max stoploss
types of stops. ApplyStop uses the high for long trades when coding a
TRAILING stop. I was asking about a max stoploss. The latter uses the
entryprice as the price to key off of when exiting. Here is an excerpt
from the help file:
ApplyStop(
stopTypeLoss, stopModePoint, 2 * ATR( 10 ), True );The function above
will place the stop 2 times 10 day ATR below entry
price.
I'm still looking for the answer to my question about trying to exit at
the low of the day before the entry. Anyone have an idea?

Hello,I think AB ApplyStop() function uses
HIGH for your long trades as the basis to calculate the stop price.
That is the stop price is the highest high ever reached during the
trade minus the AMOUNT you set as the stop price. It does NOT use
the buyprice as the basis, so it is NOT the LOW of the pre-entry day
price as you expected.ThomasSend
