OK, fix made but now I get the following error:
Line 8, Column 34:
PositionSize=100000;
Var1=IIf(Close>=(BuyPrice+0.003),2,1);
Var2=IIf(Close<(BuyPrice+0.003),0.005,0.002);
ApplyStop(Var1,2,Var2,True,False);
---------------------------------^
Error 2.
Bad arguments
I didn't think my arguments were that bad. (?)
