  Hi Graham,
                   i've put together a volatility breakout system that i'm having fun with back testing,,,it buys at a calculation above the bar,,,used buyprice=calculation.It sells using sell=barssince(buy)== number of days

     what i'd like to do next is apply a fixed stop below the buy bar incase of a reversal,,,and i'd like to nominate a calculation for that stop price.

  the stop isn't a fixed percentage or a trailing stop but a calculation that is the inverse of the buy calculation ,,,the buy side works so i know i've got my calculation written correctly,,,which in its self was a learning curve learning the B.E.D.M.A.S

  i read up on applystop and thought i could use that function,,,so i'm after a stop by calculation that's fixed ie doesn't trail or move and is defined by my calculation,,,,and is exit on stop.

  this is where i got to
    applystop(type,mode,amount,exitatstop,volatile,reentrydelay)

  type=0 //maxstoploss
  mode ,,,??
  amount,,,??? somehow i need to introduce the calculation here i think ???
  exitatstop=1 ,,,,true exit on stop price
  volatile=false
  reentrydelay=0

  over
  Paul

     


    more detail required, by me at least, as I am not sure what conditions you require for the stop to be used
