Pyramid Exits

I have added a pyramid entry (only one additional buy) to a trend following 
system of mine.  However, I have encountered a problem creating a stop loss 
exitlong based on that second entry alone.  My entry could not be simplier.  
I simply enter on the open after an end of day signal the night before.  But 
what I want to do--and what I'm having trouble with--is to have a stop loss 
exitlong based on that second long entry into the already-long position.  I 
want to use the same stop loss exit I use for my original entry, except have 
it be based on the entry price of the second entry.  I use 2 times Average 
True Range of the last 20 bars as my stop loss.  And, as I said, I want that 
caculated, not from the primary entry point, but from my secondary (pyramid) 
entry price.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
