Jose Thanks,
As always with prompt help to the "rescue". Two or three of you guys in this group are worth more than the Equis Manual and whatever additional Metastock reference material put together.

Becky, for your System Tester you can simply reference the trailing
stop indicator's in-built crossover signals:
---8<-------------------
x:=FmlVar("Trailing Stop - ATR Chandelier Exit",
"SIGNALS");
Long:= x=1;
Short:= x=-1;
---8<-------------------
And here is an update to the ATR Chandelier trailing stop:
===================================
Trailing Stop - ATR Chandelier Exit
===================================
---8<-------------------------------------
{ Trailing Stop - ATR Chandelier Exit v3.0 }
{ Long (+1) & Short (-1) trigger signals at
Close crossover of user-defined trailing stops}
