I use Richard Dales stopLongPyramid as my trailing stop. I am having trouble with the System Tester (MS 10) picking up the exit. It just closes at the last bar. I am using the Advanced Stop function: ExtFml( "AdvancedStop.StageLong", Entry Condition, Initial Stop at Entry, Transition to breakeven/TPS, TPS, First Pyramid Condition, TPS at First Pyramid, Second Pyramid Condition, TPS at Second Pyramid) and here is what I have: ExtFml( "AdvancedStop.StageLong",open ,open-2*ATR(10) ,open+2*ATR(10) ,High-3.5*ATR(10) ,Close+4*ATR(10) ,High-3*ATR(10) ,Close+6*ATR(10) ,High-2.5*ATR(10 )) I got the parameters from the StopLongPyramid indicator and instead of entryprice2 I just used the open (I also tried High) as my entry price. Any input would be appreciated. Thank you, Dan

The Advanced Stop function returns a price (plot it on a chart and see). The EST needs to evaluate an expression to make a true/false determination to exit the trade. Make a comparison of price versus the stop.
