[amibroker] Using example AFL in reference - can't set trailing stop for sigscale price

["gmorlosky" <gmorlosky@xxxxxxxxx>]

I would like to have an OR for the trailing stop of either 
the "original Buy price OR the last sigscaleout price". Can't figure 
how to reference the last sigscaleout price. Help please.

Buy = Cross( MA( C, 10 ), MA( C, 50 ) ); 
Sell = 0; 

// the system will exit 
// 50% of position if FIRST PROFIT TARGET stop is hit 
// 50% of position is SECOND PROFIT TARGET stop is hit 
// 100% of position if TRAILING STOP is hit 

FirstProfitTarget = 10; // profit 
SecondProfitTarget = 20; // in percent 
TrailingStop = 10; // also in percent 

priceatbuy=0; 
highsincebuy = 0; 

exit = 0; 

for( i = 0; i < BarCount; i++ ) 
{ 
   if( priceatbuy == 0 AND Buy[ i ] ) 
    { 
       priceatbuy = BuyPrice[ i ]; 
    } 

   if( priceatbuy > 0 ) 
    { 
       highsincebuy = Max( High[ i ], highsincebuy ); 

      if( exit == 0 AND 
          High[ i ] >= ( 1 + FirstProfitTarget * 0.01 ) * 
priceatbuy ) 
       { 
         // first profit target hit - scale-out 
         exit = 1; 
         Buy[ i ] = sigScaleOut; 
       } 

      if( exit == 1 AND 
          High[ i ] >= ( 1 + SecondProfitTarget * 0.01 ) * 
priceatbuy ) 
       { 
         // second profit target hit - exit 
         exit = 2; 
         SellPrice[ i ] = Max( Open[ i ], ( 1 + SecondProfitTarget * 
0.01 ) * priceatbuy ); 
       } 

      if( Low[ i ] <= ( 1 - TrailingStop * 0.01 ) * highsincebuy ) 
       { 
         // trailing stop hit - exit 
         exit = 3;    
         SellPrice[ i ] = Min( Open[ i ], ( 1 - TrailingStop * 0.01 ) 
* highsincebuy ); 
       } 

      if( exit >= 2 ) 
       { 
         Buy[ i ] = 0; 
         Sell[ i ] = exit + 1; // mark appropriate exit code 
         exit = 0; 
         priceatbuy = 0; // reset price 
         highsincebuy = 0; 
       } 
    } 
} 

SetPositionSize( 50, spsPercentOfEquity ); 
SetPositionSize( 50, spsPercentOfPosition * ( Buy == 
sigScaleOut ) ); // scale out 50% of position
