[amibroker] Candle formations and automated trading

Hi - I am looking into automating AB with Interactive Brokers. I have 
been going through the documentation supplied with AB on this.

Is it possible to code an order that does the following from 
Amibroker:

BUY = Cross( Ref(MACD(),-1), Ref(Signal(),-1) );

1. This buy signal is only triggered when the current candle/bar has 
closed (ie. the buy signal is not triggered when the candle is still 
forming)

SELL = Trailing stop loss

2. The trailing stop I need is as follows - the stop loss to be 
raised to the Low of the candle just formed, eg:

5 min chart:

14:25-14:30 candle low = $100.

Time now = 14:32. Current low = $90. Stop loss is $100, because this 
5 min candle is still forming, and the low of the 14:25-14:30 candle 
is used

Time now = 14:35, new candle starts. Low of 14:30-14:35 candle = $85, 
so stop loss is now $85.


Can this be done - if so, how?
Thanks,
Alex
