I want to create a script that can backtest buying a stock at a certain percentage down/shorting a percentage up from the previous close and then selling it, say, for a 5% profit or a 3% loss. Thanks for any help and guidance you can provide.

You may want to review the Guide to Developing eSignal Strategies and the Introductory Guide to Back Testing and Strategy Analyzer available in the EFS KnowledgeBase which contain detailed explanations and examples of the programming required to create a back testing strategy (including setting stops for profit/loss, etc).
If you encounter problems with your code and need assistance on a specific programming issue post your code in this forum and someone may be available to guide you in fixing the issue.
If however you are unfamiliar with programming in efs then you may want to review the FAQ: How can I get my custom study built
