Yes,
just put the formula in the exit long box. MS knows that if you are
in a trade on the long side, to exit if that sell condition is met.

[EquisMetaStock Group] How to optimize trailing stops?
I
would like to optimize trailing stops. I have one system, one set of
parameters across 7,000 stocks using MS 8.
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

The
built-in trailing stop methodology doesnt (appear to) lend itself to
optimizing.

<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

statement. I can pretty well imagine how to do most of the logic,
but I don't know how to tell that I'm in a trade. Perhaps I don't
care? Perhaps I should just go ahead and calculate the trailing
stop as a sell. If I'm in a trade, it will exit. If I'm not in a
trade, it probably doesn't even get calculated.

I
feel like I want to say "if in a trade, exit on my calculated trailing
stop". Perhaps the "sell" statement has the first part of
that already built-in? I'm too much of a procedural
programmer to see the light in MetaStock sometimes.
