hi Werner,

in my opinion it should look something like (I did not test this !). Rgds, Ed

// Buy and Short definition
Buy = your definition;
BuyPrice = ....;
Short = your definition;
ShortPrice = ....;

// now define the profit level. Make it 2% at all places and Adjust in the neighbourhood of Buy and Short signal
profitLevel = 2;
profitLevel = IIF(Buy OR Short,6,profitLevel);
profitLevel = IIF(Ref(Buy,-1) OR Ref(Short,-1),5,profitLevel);
profitLevel = IIF(Ref(Buy,-2) OR Ref(Short,-2),4,profitLevel);
profitLevel = IIF(Ref(Buy,-3) OR Ref(Short,-3),3,profitLevel);

// set the Sell and Cover 
Sell = 0;
Cover = 0;

ApplyStop(stopTypeProfit, stopModePercent, profitLevel, ExitAtStop=1,Volatile=False, ReEntryDelay=3);

SellPrice = ......;
CoverPrice = .....;

Equity(1);

  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.
