maybe you could use Equity(1) and applystop
Here is something from teh help files on Equity
Using Equity( 1 ) evaluates stops and writes BACK
signals to sell/cover arrays. Equity(1) also removes
all extra signals.
Depending on kind of the stop various values
are written back to sell/cover array to enable you
to distinguish if given signal was generated by regular
rule or by stop.
1 - regular exit
2 - max. loss
3 - profit target
4 - trailing
5 - n-bar stop
6 - ruin stop
... your rules...
ApplyStop( stopTypeTrail, stopModePercent, 10, True );
Equity( 1 );
WriteIf( sell == 1, "Regular exit",
WriteIf( sell == 4, "Trailing stop", "" ) );
maybe just have
Short = Sell==4 or sell==2;
