Eugene,
Its not quite what I've been looking at. His article covered using indicators to see if the market was in a rising trend and also RSI to look at entering a trade. The entry signal for a trade (on a daily or weekly basis) was .. If the close is greater than the lowest low value(based on the low of the last twenty periods) plus twice the 10-period ATR, then enter a long position. The Exit is , if the close is less than the highest high value( based on the high of the last twenty periods) minus twice the 10 day ATR. He also included a Volatility trailing stop at two times the 10 day ATR, but adjusted it to stay at its highest level for 15 periods (days or weeks). A Volatility profit taker was included also that identified when the price exceeded a 13 period exp moving average plus 2 times the 10 period ATR.
See Stocks and Commodities v.23.2 (14-20) See attached
Thanks
Stan

The article's exit strategy description is probably its weakest point: several exit rules contradict each other and a complete exit strategy is missing. Page 3 is very confusing. Sounds like the author chooses different exits for the various scenarios: normally C<(HHV(H,20)-2*ATR(10)) and sometimes HHV(C-2*ATR(10),15). Considering this, I provided the choice of trailing exits through a parameter slider.
I uploaded the strategy so you can pick it up using "Open Strategy> Download":
