Chuck,
I'll study this further. Any idea how one could
implement a trailing stop (with each bar) where one would exit the long trade
when the price drops below the low of the previous bar using 'applystop'
?

trailing Applystop (for Ted)
My
main point was that a fixed (75 cent) stop doesn't lend itself to volatility
checking.

I'm
of the opinion that setting volatility = true would be applicable if you had a
stop distance that said something like "ATR(14)*3" where your stop distance
actually could vary between the point of entry and point of exit. A 75
cent stop is a 75 cent stop every day in the life of a trade and ignores
volatility.

<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

cent stop would be from the highest high during the life of the trade and for
shorts, a 75 cent stop would be from the lows. It's either the
extremes or the closes depending on how Tomacz implemented it. It
wouldn't take much to prove it one way or the other.

Chuck,
I made a mistake in my original email, I
meant the High price of the bar when the Buy (not Sell)
occured.
According to the Users Guide, the 5th
parameter of ApplyStop:
volatile - decides if amount (or
distance) (3rd parameter) is sampled at the trade entry and remains fixed
during the trade (Volatile = FALSE - old behaviour) or if can vary during
the trade (Volatile = TRUE) (allows single line Chandelier exit
implementation)
I'm trying to find out what the .75 (distance)
is relative to on each bar of the trade. Thanks for your taking an interest
in this.
Ted

<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>This isn't really a "volatility" stop. You are simply running
a 75 cent stop from the extreme of the move. But, I'm sure you
knew that already.
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>The fact that you are using "true" in the statement means that your
trade will be exited at your stop price (forgetting about opening gaps)
intraday. So, your "exit at open prices" is
meaningless.

[amibroker] Volatile trailing Applystop
Tomasz,
Is this type of volatile trailing stop
predictable for longs and shorts?
Stop=.75;
ApplyStop(stopTypeTrailing,
stopModePoint, Stop, True,
True);
It seems to be predictable for longs where
it uses the high of the Sell for its basis of calculation. For shorts, I
can't seem to figure it out. I used set trade delays to 0 using Open
prices.
Ted
