Hi Dave,

Thank you for the Applystop explanation as I have struggled with the 
proper use of Applystop and this helps a lot.

One more question if I may. Is it possible to have both of these 
statements

ApplyStop(stopTypeLoss, stopModePoint, myStop1, 1); 
ApplyStop(stopTypeProfit, stopModePoint, myStop2, 1);

In the same program without the latter overriding the former, 
effectively creating a bracket trade?

Thx

Ron
