Many thanks Graham,

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work. I may be doing something 
wrong:

My code is:

buy=...conditions
short=...conditions
 
sell=short;
cover=buy;

BestLong = valuewhen( sell, highestsince(buy,h) );
BestShort = valuewhen( cover, lowestsince(short,L) );

Sell=bestlong;
Cover=bestshort;

Buy = ExRem(Buy,Short);
Sell = ExRem(Sell,Buy); 
Short = ExRem(Short,Buy);
Cover = ExRem(Cover,Short);

The sell happens on the next bar after a buy rather than searching 
for the highest high before a short signal.

Any assistance would be appreciated,

Cheers

Sam
