Tried your code using my current ASX100 list and it showed your
MaxLossPercentStop string as the reason for a few of the exits, which
corresponded with trades with losses greater than 15%, so it seems to
work.
One thing I don't understand though is why all the other exits have
reason code one, which is supposed to be max loss, when they are just
normal exits. According to the help information, they should have
reason code zero.

GP
