are getting stopped out at 5%.  I tried several similar variations 
too.

  Different stops (long and short)
  Try:
   
  Chuck:
   
  Try:
   
  LongPos=flip(buy,sell);
  ShortPos=flip(short,cover);
  <FONT face=Arial 
  size=2>applystop(stopTypeLoss,stopModePercent,iif(LongPos,5,50),False);
   
  This hasn't been tested.

    (long and short)
    
    I would 
    like to have either a different stop method or percent for long vs. short 
    trades.
    <FONT face=Arial 
    color=#0000ff> 
    I thought 
    that something like this would work:
    <FONT face=Arial 
    color=#0000ff> 
    
    LossPercent=<FONT 
    color=#0000ff>IIf(<FONT 
    color=#0000ff>BarsSince(Buy)<<FONT 
    color=#0000ff>BarsSince(Sell),<FONT 
    color=#ff00ff>5,50);<FONT 
    color=#0000ff>
    ApplyStop<FONT 
    face=Arial>(stopTypeLoss,stopModePercent,lossPercent,False);
     
    But, it didn't do what I 
    expected.
    Actually, a different 
    stop method presents me with an even bigger problem.
