[amibroker] How to set scale-out price if scale-out and stop-out signals happen together?

Referring to the scale-out example code in the manual, which scales out 50% of the position 
if the first profit target is hit and also has a protective trailing stop-out. 

If a bar opens above the first profit target, the logical behavior is to exit 50% of the position 
at open. However, if, on the same bar, price drops to pass the trailing stop loss point, then 
the remaining 50% of the position should be exited at the stop loss price.

What I just described is the logical behavior if anyone is trading these rules in real time. 
However, when I ran the scaling-out example code in the manual, it would exit all positions 
at the stop loss price even if the open is beyond the profit target. This is not a completely 
correct behavior.

Does anyone know how to specify the scale-out price in such a scenario?
