Thanks for your reply.
I do have money - but it is tht next trade I DON'T want to take so it 
is no that - it is something in the code.
I appreciate your comments about array processing - something I 
haven't quite sorted out in my mind yet.

In the interest of my learning something here, you said the Buy = 
line is executed once for all bars - yet there are often many buys 
looking back into history - so buys happen more than once. 

I can also see the value of in_trade in the Interpretation window 
(using Writeval() )and watch it change from 0 to 1 when the first 
trade of the day occurs.  Yet the second buy in the same day occurs 
with in_trade = 1 even though one of the criteria for the Buy is that 
in_trade be equal to zero.  I may be trying to make things more 
simple than they are - but I still do not understand.

I do thank you for your input 
Rick
