If you are using the boolean value (IsInTrade) then you need to reset it when you exit the trade. See near the end of the formula. Although if you now understand the buyatprice == 0 then you could revert to the canned example.

To add different sell logic, you can modify the "AND" portion of the if statements after if( exit == ...

This sets the type of sell signal. It (exit + 1) will be either 3 or 4 which corresponds to hitting a profit target or hitting a trailing stop (IIRC).
I don't know how other people feel but IMO, you may want to take a look at some simple intro programming tutorials separate from AB. Between general programming, array processing, and the specifics of AFL there is a lot to take in. Of course your mileage may vary.
