Alexei, try this:

MetaStock -> Tools -> Indicator Builder -> New
-> Copy and paste indicator formula below.

========================
Trailing Stop - TradeSim
========================
---8<---------------------------

{ Triggers: Long (+1) & Short (-1) signals at
  crossover of user-defined trailing stops }
{ x23 faster than MetaStock's 4-PREV version }
{ TradeSim.dll must be in
 ...\MetaStock\External Function DLLs\ folder }

{ User inputs }
buffer:=Input("buffer % trailing stop",0,100,20);
plot:=Input("plot:  trailing stop=1,  Long+Short=2,  signals=3",1,3,1
);
adv:=Input("plot:  today's trailing stop=0,  tomorrow's stop=1",0,1,0
);
delay:=Input("Entry and Exit signal delay",0,5,0);

{ Trailing stop - Long & Short }
Volatility:=C*buffer/100;
stopLong:=ExtFml("TradeSim.TrailingStop",
 BAND,       {mode: band or trigger}
 LONG,       {long or short}
 Volatility, {user defined see variable above}
 CLOSE,      {RefPoint for stop calc}
 CLOSE);     {threshold - stop breached}
stopShort:=ExtFml("TradeSim.TrailingStop",
 BAND,SHORT,Volatility,C,C);

{ Basic latch, signals }
In:=Cross(C,Ref(stopShort,-1));
Out:=Cross(Ref(stopLong,-1),C);
Init:=Cum(In+Out>-1)=1;
InInit:=Cum(In)=1;
flag:=BarsSince(Init OR In)
 < BarsSince(Init OR Out)+InInit;
signals:=Ref((InInit AND Alert(InInit=0,2)
 OR flag AND Alert(flag=0,2))
 -(flag=0 AND Alert(flag,2)),-delay);
stop:=Ref(If(flag=1,stopLong,stopShort),-1+adv);

{ Plot on price chart }
If(plot=1,stop,
 If(plot=2,Ref(stopLong,-1+adv),0));
If(plot=1,stop,
 If(plot=2,Ref(stopShort,-1+adv),signals))
