SV: Calculations from a specific date

["Geir Tveit" <gtveit@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you Mr.Maas for your help.
Here is the formula for my stop-line (It will cause problems by year end when new month number is less than previous, but that can be sorted out by entering new value from 01.01 with the line value of 12.31.):

Initiell:=Input("Initiell Stop",1,5000,10);
TestYR:=Year();
TestMth:=Month();
YrBuy:=Input("Year Bought",1999,2010,2000);
MthBuy:=Input("Month Bought",1,12,1);
Testday:=TestYR>=YrBuy AND TestMth>=MthBuy;

If(Testday,If(HHV(H - 2.5*ATR(5),20) <LOW,HHV(H -2.5*ATR(5),20),PREV),initiell)
