<SPAN

the sell?? try adding exrem to limit the number of buys to 1 prior to a 
sell.

BarsSince() not working as expected.A backtest results 
in 50 trades:Buy = Condition 1;Sell = Condition 2:If I 
change this to,Buy = Condition 1;Sell = Condition 2;Buy = Buy 
and Barssince(Sell)>0;Sell = Sell and BarsSince(Buy)>0;then 
the number of trades reduces to 27. I would have expected the 
BarsSince()>0 statement to have no effect on the number of trades. I 
also have the same reduction in the number of trades if I use ==0 in 
place of >0. Is there a problem here with the 
logic?KeithSend
