I have a system that can be enhanced if I can change the trading
delays when certain conditions are met. There must be some way in AFL
to set trade delays to one value for condition 'A' and then reset the
the trading delays when condition 'B' is met.
Ridiculous example:
SetTradeDelays(1,1,1,1);
BigGame = (IIF(AZ_Cardinals = Win, "Amazing", "Figures");
IIF(BigGame = "Amazing", SetTradeDelays((2,2,2,2),
SetTradeDelays(0,0,0,0);
Buy = <<something>>;
Sell = <<something else>>;
