It seemed to me that it should be possible,
somehow, to save the real entries -- that is, to simulate the feed from
ibc.getpositionsize. I thought of doing this with addtocomposite, but it
seems that it works on arrays so doesn't help. Perhaps I could write to a
text file when I get a real entry, and then read from that file on later bars as
if it were coming from the controller?

In
simple system you can check the positionsize:
IBPosSize = ibc.GetPositionSize( Ticker );
assuming you got full fills you don't want to go short if you are
already short, or long if you are already long.
For
this type of trading you could/should be using minute bars and limit trades to
one per minute.
If
trading a reversal system you can also maintain your own Static position
indicator...

Sorry, I think my post
wasn't that clear. I am trading intraday, and I want
to get in and
out of trades frequently during the day. The trouble I'm
having is
determining whether I should open a new trade, because I don't
know yet
whether I've gotten out of the old one. That is, you want to use
Exrem() to avoid repeated buy signals, but you can't do that because you
have to use the sell conditions to define the buy conditions. Am I
making
any sense?
