You
might take a look at the syntax for your applystop.....
<SPAN
class=242101618-28112003>
SYNTAX
applystop( type, mode,
amount, exitatstop, volatile = False )
RETURNS
nothing
FUNCTION
controls built-in stops from the formula level (allows
optimization of stops)
Parameters:
type =0 = stopTypeLoss - maximum loss stop,1 =
stopTypeProfit - profit target stop,2 = stopTypeTrailing - trailing
stop,3 = stopTypeNBar - N-bar stop
mode = 0 - disable stop (stopModeDisable),1 - amount in
percent (stopModePercent), or number of bars for N-bar stop
(stopModeBars),2 - amount in points (stopModePoint);3 - amount in
percent of profit (risk)
amount = percent/point loss/profit trigger/risk
amount.This could be a number (static stop level) or an array (dynamic
stop level)
exitatstop = False - exits at defined price field,True -
exits at stop level
volatile - decides if amount (or distance) (3rd parameter)
is sampled at the trade entry and remains fixed during the trade (Volatile
= FALSE - old behaviour) or if can vary during the trade (Volatile = TRUE)
(allows single line Chandelier exit implementation)
EXAMPLE
/* max loss stop optimization */ApplyStop(
stopTypeLoss, stopAmountPercent, optimize( "max. loss stop level", 10, 2,
30, 1 ), True );
/* single-line implementation of Chandelier exit
*/ApplyStop(stopTypeTrailing, stopModePoint, 3*ATR(14), True, True );
