Hello Dingo,

Thanks for your code. I have figured it out now. The problem was that i use multiple parameters to optimize the stop loss and also define the default stop loss. AA and Charts are using the same code but not the same paramters. So i had a 20 pips stop in the chart and 50 pips stop in automatic analysis.
Do you know any way to fix it so that both, the chart and automatic analysis using the same parameters ?
Regards

Here is a simple system with trail stop. Star is plotted at stop

Buy = Cross( MA(C,10), MA(C,100) );
Sell=0;
ApplyStop(2,1,10,0,0,1);
Plot(C,"close",colorBlack,styleCandle);
Equity(1); // THIS EVALUATES STOPS
PlotShapes(shapeStar*(Sell==4),colorRed,0,H,12);

Hi Dingo,

yes, i know and i have read it.
So in my code i have a "normal" stop loss and a regular exit, but it doesn't work.
Only the regular exit will be ploted.

PlotShapes(IIf(Sell==1,25,IIf(Sell==2,25,-1e10)),Sellcolor,0,SellPrice,0);

from equity comments

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
 
you need to add the approp value to your if.

Hello,

i want to plot shapes at the when the applystop function stopped my trade.
So i have coded it as described in the amibroker help:
"Using Equity( 1 ) evaluates stops and writes BACK
signals to sell/cover arrays. Equity(1) also removes
all extra signals. "

Unfortunately i only receive shapes when it was a regular exit but not when it was a stop exit.
The build-in arrow appear at the stop bar. Can someone help ?
Here is my sample code:

fast = EMA(C,3); slow = EMA(C,10);
Buy=Cross(fast,slow); Sell=Cross(slow,fast);
Short = 0; Cover = 0;

Equity(1);
PlotShapes(IIf(Sell==1,25,IIf(Sell==2,25,-1e10)),Sellcolor,0,SellPrice,0);
Regards
