I'm probably
misunderstanding something basic here, but why not skip the buyin that
case, instead of entering it and exiting later the same day? inother
words, add the condition Ref(Low, -1) > MyStop to the buy
condition.or are you trying to make a profit on that partial day when
this sequencehappens?sorry if you missed the
point...dave> It would be nice to exit longs at the open if
