[amibroker] How to know buy price when building a backtest

If I build a model for buying/selling and I want to, for instance,
create my own artificial stop based on the buy price i need to know
the buy price of my item.

Even if I use the exrem statement on a buy the buyprice array does not
necessarily remain the original buy price if other buys occur (but do
not  get executed.)

I know you can set a % stop in the program so the backtest program
must know what the buy price was so I was wondering if there is a way
to get this amount without delving into the backtesting interface.

Hope I asked the question clearly enough for someone to help.

Thanks

Mike
