Tony,
Thanks for your help, makes it much clearer now how to setup a chart,
but using the following the ATR stop isn't on the chart?
------------------------------------------------
Buy = Cross( MA( Close, 30 ), MA( Close, 50 ) );
Sell = 0;
ApplyStop( stopTypeTrailing, stopModePoint, 2*ATR(10), True, True);
e = Equity(1);
GraphXSpace =5;
Plot(Close,"Long System",colorBlack,128);
StopLoss =Min(HighestSince(Buy==1,High,1)-2*ATR(10),Open);
Plot(StopLoss,"Stop Loss",colorRed,1);
------------------------------------------------
Cheers Glenn
