You'l get better answers than this one but I think what you do is
approximately--

If.(exit condition) then begin
    sell at market;
    PositionProfit = LastTradePL;
    end;
Further in the system you can reference LastTradePL as the previous trade's
performance.

You may also be able to use PositionProfit[1] to reference closed positions.
Gook luck.
