[amibroker] 'Simple!' dynamic applystop help please

Hi,

I'm backtesting forex.

On the day of the trade, I want the stop loss to be 30pts.
On subsequent days, I want the stop loss to be 40pts.
Edited relevant section of code follows:

StopLvl = 0.0030;

Buydate = ValueWhen(Buy,Day()); // Determine buy day

StopLvlWid = 0.0010;

StopLvl = IIf( Day()!=Buydate, StopLvl+StopLvlWid, StopLvl);

ApplyStop(stopTypeLoss, stopModePoint, StopLvl, True, True);


Can anyone see why the above code doesn't work.
I've tracked StopLvl and it changes correctly for the following day.
I've set dynamic level to true so I don't understand why the trade
stops out at 30pts rather than 40pts on subsequent days.

Thanks
Alan
