I see.  Okay, now some simple code works correctly, but not all. For
example, here is another stupid variation, but a variation that I
cannot get to work properly, although I think it should:

//an outside day with a down close, buying on the next open if the
//open is lower than the previous day's close

//Buystop = Open < Ref(C,-1);

Buy = Ref(H,-1) > Ref(H,-2) AND Ref(L,-1) < Ref(L,-2) AND Ref(C,-1) < Ref(L,-1) AND Open < Ref(C,-1); 

Sell= 1;

SetTradeDelays(0,0,0,0);

BuyPrice = Open;

SellPrice = Close;

I also tried using the commented-out 'buystop' variable.  In both
cases, no buy ever takes place.  And it's not because the condition
is never present.  ^^_^^

Best,

Yuki
