Code is processed one line at a time and never looks ahead. This means that
if you use the varibale "SELL" it must have been defined earlier - which you
didn't. You have to move the last 4 lines of your code ahead of everything
else. That is your basic system.
After that you use the ApplyStop().
IIt might be a good idea to work through the examples in help and writing
code. There are some basic programming rules that must be understood and
followed. It may take a few days but will save you lots of time later.
happy trading,
Herman.

An error appears "missing buy/sell variable assignments"
and "Unknown identifier":
ApplyStop( 1, 1, 1, True, False ); /* Profit Target */
Equity(1);
Short = Sell == 3; // double == is EQUALITY check,
ShortPrice = SellPrice;
Equity(1);
Buy = Cross(MA(Close,5), MA(Close,12));
Sell = Cross(MA(Close,12),MA(Close,5));
Short = Sell;
Cover = Buy;
