[amibroker] Re: Incorrect behaviour in ApplyStop for trailing stops

The problem in backtesting is, if you have a wide range bar that opens at the low and 
finishes strong and closes at the high, and the range is greater than the trailing stop 
amount, the back testing will exit the trade at the high - the trailing amount. In reality 
that does not happen.
