Dimitris,

I copied the code exactly what I currently use in IB
for your reference here it is:

condP=Ref(H,-1)>=Ref(H,-2) AND Ref(H,-1)>H AND Ref(H,-1)>Ref(C,-3);
P=Ref(CONDP,1)*(X!=LastValue(X));
endt= LastValue(ValueWhen( P, x, D ));
endS = LastValue(ValueWhen( P, H, D ) );
startt=LastValue(ValueWhen( P AND H>ends AND X<ENDT, x, 1 ));
startS = LastValue( ValueWhen( P AND H>ends AND X<ENDT, H, 1 ));
dtS =endt-startt;
aS = (endS-startS)/dtS;bS = endS;
tH = aS * ( x -endt ) + bS;
tH1=IIf(X>STARTT-30,tH,-1E10);
Plot(tH1,"",bc,1);

It is just that I cannot use this code to backtest.

I know how to calculate the value of th1 for the next day which would 
be a stop for my short position for the next day. 

Thanks for your help
