[amibroker] Re: Can I have different APPLYSTOPs ?

["Werner" <WKRAG@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ed, 
thanks for your reply.

I am still scratching my head on HOW to do this?

I am thinking I need the "BarsSince" function, 

but could not formulate a working array for my ApplyStop. 

Maybe someone can enlighten me?

Thanks,

Werner

if you like to use a dynamic stop level you need to fill an array to 
your liking. Trick now is how to fill this array properly. Because at 
the position of a Buy or Short signal you want to fill this array 
with 6, the next day with 3 etc.

you only can see the full picture after Applystop is applied. That is 
one of the reasons I write my own stop code using loops.
