[amibroker] Re: PlaceOrder call

Did a little trial and error.  It appears as though the error is in
the limit price (L-10).  I suspect that, because L returns the Low
array, the PlaceOrder call does not know which Low you want to use. 
Try using a fixed number and see if the bracket order goes in, then
reset your limit price to a fixed price, such as LastValue(L) or
SelectedValue(L).

Good Luck,
Snap
