Applystop long and short

[shavedlemon]

Hello everyone,

I have a quick question about ApplyStop() and have done reasonable amounts of research on the forum but can't find a definitive answer so posting here for confirmation that I am using this correctly?

The general idea is that I want both Stops to apply ONLY ON THE LONG SIDE and let the Short run as it is without stops.

Since I am not using a technical signal, only stop orders, I was able to use Flip() to evaluate whether the system was long or not but it doesn't work in this case because Sell=False and using Equity(1,0) gave me odd results in the backtester.

Could someone please point me in the right direction?

SetTradeDelays(1,1,1,1);

Buy=Cross(RSI(2),30);
BuyPrice=Open;

Sell=False;
SellPrice=Open;

Bars=4;
Loss=4;

ApplyStop(stopTypeNBar,stopModeBars,Bars); 
ApplyStop(stopTypeLoss,stopModePercent,Loss);

Short=Cross(RSI(2),90);
Short=Open;

Cover=Short; // cover the same day at the close
CoverPrice=Close;

i have no experience with Applystop but I would think you could just use code like this:

Using price levels with ApplyStop function

and then for the "stopAmountShort" use a very large number
