loss condition - please !
Hello,
You can not use ApplyStop that way.
This is so because stops are applied not at the formula
execution stage but
later and apply stop is just a "SWITCH" that turns on/off
built-in stop handling.
Therefore you can not change mode of stop via
if-else.
The code that you have used:
if
(LastValue(BarIndex())<=3){ApplyStop(stopTypeTrailing,stopModePercent,4,True,False);
//4%}else{ApplyStop(stopTypeTrailing,stopModePoint,BuyPrice,True,False);}
is actually equivalent to just single line:
<FONT
size=3>ApplyStop(stopTypeTrailing,stopModePoint,BuyPrice,True,False);
As last value of barindex is almost ALWAYS greater than
3
LastValue(BarIndex() ) gives you the NUMBER OF BARS in
currently backtested symbol.
What you can do is to change the AMOUNT of stop on
bar-by-bar basis
but you can NOT change the mode (from stopModePoint to
stopModePercent)
on bar-by-bar basis.
ApplyStop( stopTypeTrailing, stopModePercent /* this must be
constant */, 4 /* this CAN BE VARIABLE */, True );
