Do you
have an Equity(1) or ExRem statement somewhere after your
Buy? Your original example showed it, but you didn't mention it
in your last post. Do you have a sell signal, or just the two
stops?

A
"cross" might be better as in the following example:
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>
Buy =
cross(N,0);
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>
That
will give you just one buy signal. Although the code you have should just
give you one as well.

Help with SetTradeDelays please!Chuck,Thanks
I have tried that but for some reason on all the stocks it picks up, each
of the last 3 days have a buy signal on them.Should only be a single
signal as I have the code:Buy=N AND Ref(N,-1)==0;BTW, N= the
entry code. I only take the first signal not any follow ups.Cheers
