It's not so bad. Something like this:
Chuck,
Loops can be confusing. Here's some code (attached) that, I think, does
what you want. I thought it was an interesting idea, but it sure doesn't
work on the NDX100. Maybe on stocks. Let me know what you find.

Hi Steve. I don't think that's the problem... I can easily indicate an
initial short or long position. The problem is that the buy signals are
dependent on prior buys... I think, as Terry has suggested, that I may
need
to code a loop. However, I hate to have to do that!
