G'day Mark,
            many thanks for your input,,,i'll try changing it to have ref to the buy price.

1 point stop ,,geez mate i'm not at the stage of scalping index's with live data feeds ,,thats still a "dream" for me way down the line :(

       playing with a EOD break out system similar to a NR4 set up buying inbetween highs and wanted to have the stop inbetween the lows,,,
    will keep pluggin away at it,
thanks again,
regards,
Paul


  Hi Paul,

  I might jump in.  The problem I see at the moment is that your stop amount needs to be the distance from entry.  Assume ref(l,-2) = 10 and ref(l,-1) = 8 and your buy price is 14.

  Currently your stop is 10+8-5=13.  Don't know about you, but that's a pretty wide stop :-). 

  I imagine what your looking for under these circumstances is a 1 'point' stop, i.e. 14-13.

  Your calc needs to be BuyPrice - (ref(l,-2)+(ref(l,-1)-ref(l,-2))*0.5)
