Dr. Torque,
It's NOT my formula. It's Jose's formula as you can see. I could not even use it correctly as you witnessed in the email traffic, much less come up with it. Anyway:
Free MetaStock section - System/signal Indicators
2nd row below this title is:
ATR trailing stop
There are a lot more goodies there.
I am also attaching it for your convenience.
{ Trailing Stop - ATR Chandelier Exit v3.0 }
{ Long (+1) & Short (-1) trigger signals at
Close crossover of user-defined trailing stops}

Becky, I can't see your charts, but v3 of the "Trailing Stop - ATR
Chandelier Exit" is the one I would use.

BUY Order:
x:=FmlVar("Trailing Stop - ATR Chandelier Exit", "SIGNALS");
x=1
SELL Order:
x:=FmlVar("Trailing Stop - ATR Chandelier Exit", "SIGNALS");
x=-1

~35 ticks). I did use the exact same parameters when I run the two
versions (ATR periods, lookback, multiplier, etc). Shall I assume that
version 3 being the latest is 'more' correct than version 2?

Right now I use without success:
