Andrew,
Your first part requires EURUSD because of the Name() ==, in the second
part you use Foreign to access EURUSD. So, to put it outside the loop,
you must use Foreign to first store the EURUSD, then perform your
conditions on it. Inside the loop, in both parts, test to these
conditions.

Hi Terry,
The conditions are the same for both parts of the IF statement. I am
using the SETFOREIGN function in the second part so I can reference
the signals from the first part. However, I get vastly different
results when I define the conditions first (outside the IF statement),
as opposed to defining the same conditions in each part of the IF
statement.
I'll have to plot both and compare buy/sells, but in just looking at
the backtest results I get complementing LONG/SHORT in my chosen pairs
when the conditions are defined WITHIN both parts of the IF statement,
which is what I would expect. Defining the conditions first does not
give me the same results. I could have many trades on EURUSD before
any are taken on the other pair, which is NOT what I would expect.
Thank you for your help in this matter,
Andrew.
