Looking more closely I would switch sell and short.  applystop will stop buy with a sell not a short and stop a short with a cover not a buy.  So have something like
 
sell = cover = 0
applystop( ...
buy = cross(ma(c, 3), ma(c, 13))
short = cross(ma(c, 13), ma(c, 3))
exrem( ...
exrem( ...
equity( ...
filter = ...
addcolumn( ...
