[amibroker] How to control delaying "some" new buys?

Trading Reference Links

In the example below, I buy 3 stocks in a watch list based on the Buy condition. Let's say stock 1 stopped out, so the next day the system buys a new stock, stock 1A, to replace it and again holds 3 stocks. But, I want to only buy and replace stock 1 after stock 1 has met the sell condition, which could be several days later. Thus the system would only hold 2 stocks for a period of time until the sell condition is met. Is there a way to do this?

SetTradeDelays(1,1,1,1);
PositionSize = -100/3;
Buy = Cross(C,MA(C,200));
Sell = Cross(MA(C,50),C);
ApplyStop(stopTypeLoss, stopModePercent,  5); 

Thanks in advance
Larry
