You could try
ApplyStop( stopTypeNBar, stopModeBars, 1,2 );
which will stop out the following day. Also, remember this from the help files under applystop:
If two or more different stops are triggered on the VERY SAME bar then they are evaluated in this fixed order:
Fixed Ruin stop (loosing 99.96% of the starting capital)
Max. loss stop
Profit target stop
Trailing stop
N-bar stop
I have found that trading with trail, profit and loss stops in the same afl with end of day data using activete stops immediately is very misleading. You get some result when a backtest is run, but due to the statement above, you don't know in real trading what the order of the high and low was throughout the day. Thus if the low preceded the high, you might get stopped out first, switch it around and you may have hit your profit stop first. For these reasons, I only use intraday data if I am using multiple stops in the same code with activete stops immediately. I only used stops based on the closing price for daily data.
