[amibroker] Applystop Questions

["pmxgs" <pmxgs@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, can someone please help me with the following questions?

ApplyStop( type, mode, amount, exitatstop, volatile = False,
ReEntryDelay = 0 )


1)I need a different amount for long and short trades.
For example: Applystop(stopTypeTrailing,stopModePoint,IIF(buy,atr
(14),2*atr(20),1). 
Can I do this?

2) What is the behaviour of AB when we choose trailingstopmode and
exitatstop=0, with trade price set to close.
Does AB check High array to trail but only exits at close??
I'm using the above mentioned settings but I don't understand the
results in the backtester.

3) Is there any way to make the applystop function to give trading
signals in the Scan mode. I tried to use equity(1), but I still
don't get any exit signals in the scan mode.

thanks everyone
