Chuck,
Yes I have a buy signal taking only the first one buy as I mentioned in
the last post and I have a normal trailing stop sell.
Then after the buy/sell I have the 2 applystops then the equity(2) last.
I do not have any ExRem statements which is new to me and maybe I
could use that for something! not sure yet.
> Buy = cross(N,0);
I'll give that a go too thanks.
Cheers Glenn
