I'd like to plot "Buy Stops" only after "Buy Signals" are generated, and conversely plot "Sell Stops" only after "Sell Signals" are generated. "Buy Signals" would plot "Buy Stops", until a "Sell Signal" replaces it with a "Sell Stop" and visa versa. I know I could plot both Buy & Sell Stops all the time, but I'd rather selectively plot them. Is it possible to conditionally plot them?
"Buy signal" = Cross(A,B)
"Sell signal" = Cross(B,A)
Thank's,
Dennis

"Buy signal" = Cross(A,B); "Sell signal" = Cross(B,A); A>B and C>Long stop; A<B and C<Short Stop;

Let me restate my question:
I generate Buy & Sell arrows in the Expert Advisor with a formula that evaluates momentary conditions. Once a Buy Arrow is generated and the momentary condition that generated the arrow is gone, I want the Long Stop that was generated by the Buy Arrow conditions to remain plotted until another Arrow is generated. Each time a new Buy or Sell Arrow is generated, the Stop is switched accordingly to match the Arrow Direction, Long or Short. There will always be Stops plotted, Long Stops plotted after a Buy Arrow, and Short Stops plotted after a Sell Arrow. Each new Arrow will either keep the current trade direction or reverse it with the Stops following the direction of the Arrows.
Thank's
Dennis

There is a multitude of ways to achieve what I think you're trying to achieve, although to get the optimum solution you will have to provide a lot more information.
What timeframes are you trading? How "momentary" are your signals? Is your expert using :live bars"? What .dlls do you have already?

I'm using daily bars. EOD data.
I'm using the Forum20 DLL.
My Buy & Sell signals are generated by "Cross" functions in the Expert Adviser.
Buy Condition : Cross(A,B) And C And D = 1
Sell Condition : Cross(B,A) And E And F = -1
Supose I had a toggle where the "Buy" condition generates a +1 value to be maintained until a "Sell" condition toggles it to -1, to be maintained until another "Buy" toggles it back to +1. From that, could I plot Long Stops when the toggle = +1 and Short Stops when the toggle = -1? Multiple successive "Buy" signals just maintain the Long Stops and visa versa.
Thank's
Dennis

Henry,
What is "C" in your equation?
