[amibroker] More help sought (please) Re: Newby question - coding help sought.

["loewensteijn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <zl2ml@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

First, many thanks for this, that did exactly what I was looking for with calcualting the stop values (both sell and buy, sell is very similar but signs are reversed)

I am now trying to prevent the stops from widening and have been unable to achieve this:

TradeStation:

if fixValue  < (L - finalBuyStop ) then displayBuyStop = (L - fixValue) else displayBuyStop = finalBuyStop;

I translated this as:

displayBuyStop = IIf(averagePrice >= Ref(averagePrice, -1) && Ref(averagePrice,-1) >= Ref(averagePrice,-2), Ref(finalBuystop,-1), finalBuystop);

But I am finding that the stop still widens. (still need to code the flip over and not displaying when the trend is down)

The other problem I am battling with is having the the sellStop working in the same way and automatically changing over. In TradeStation I finish up with two indicators which displays large dots.
	
Is it better to use a staircase display in this case?

Many thanks in advance
Marinus
