I must be really dense on this.:) If you use ValueWhen() to get the
price when your "buy" condition is met it should capture that price
and remember it for each stock in your scan, assuming you used the
same entry condition. If you use the same stop/stop-loss methods on
all your stocks you should be able to apply those calculations to the
ValueWhen() price for each stock. Then use a filter that tells you
when the closing price crosses above/below the appropriate stop-loss
level you've calculated off of the ValueWhen() price.
I must be misunderstanding either the problem of what you're trying
to accomplish, since the solution seems so straightforward.
