I'm trying to Back-test a stop-loss strategy that the "ApplyStop" 
function doesn't handle, and I need to keep track of whether I am 
long or short, and what my entry price was. The BackTester must know 
this information in order to be able to assess profit and loss on 
exit, but I can't find any AFL variable that records it. 

For example, I want to set a fixed-amount stop loss on entry, and
then, if price has moved in my favour, move the stop later to a break-
even point. For that I need to keep track of my position, and my
original entry price. When I try to program it I get into loops with 
uninitialised variables.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Paolo
