[amibroker] Re: Stoploss that moves to break-even point and stays there

["rinku" <boyrinku@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi mike
thanks for formula
but it is applicable only long trades how can i also use it at short trades
example if i sell a stock at 100 with 1% stop loss at 101 when prices drop 5% at 95 stop should move to break even at 100
thank you
