There are many different trailing stops around. I've created this one which
I meets what I understand are your requirements. I'm sure when you look at
it you'll find something about it that you want to change or that isn't
write. Keep looking through the archives for trailing stops, and take the
time to try and learn how they function. Sometimes simple is good, sometimes
it's bad.

  {Date Triggered Trailing Stop}
Sm:=Input("Start Month",1,12,6);
Sd:=Input("Start Day"  ,1,31,30);
Sy:=Input("Start Year" ,1980,2004,2003);
Lb:=Input("Look back periods",1,20,5);
Pc:=Input("LLV  percentage"  ,1,20,5)/100;
Start:=(DayOfMonth()>=Sd AND Month()=Sm AND
Year()=Sy) OR Year()>Sy OR (Year()=Sy AND
Month()>Sm);
Start:=Start AND Alert(Start=0,2);
HHlow:=LLV(L,Lb)*(1-Pc);
Trail:=HighestSince(1,Start,HHlow);
Trail;
