[Metastockusers] Plotting a trailing stop in the chart window

hi everybody

I have designed a close trailing stop for short term systems.
The logic is to start with an ATR multiple subtracted from the low 
on the first day of the trade and on the following days to rise the 
stop by the difference of the respective lows, yet in such a way 
that the stop for the long position can never be lower than the 
previous stop value.

(entry is only a simple example) 

atrs := 4;
atrmult:= 0.25;

longentry:= Cross(C,MOV(C,30,S));

stopl:=If(BarsSince(longentry)=0,L-ATR(atrs)*atrmult,If(L>Ref(L,-
1),PREV+(L-Ref(L,-1)),PREV));

stopl;

I'd like to plot this as an indicator in the chart window. My 
problem is that during the "flat" periods the stop grows higher and 
higher and so it distorts the chart view.

Anybody got an idea how to avoid that?

Thanks so much
