[amibroker] Problem with barcomplete

["gyowell2000" <gyowell1@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,
I have tried to use barcomplete from time to time over the last few 
years with only partial success.
barcomplete as defined by TJ is 
barcomplete = BarIndex() < LastValue(BarIndex());

Using barcomplete in a Buy (or Sell) rule such as:
Buy = Cross(MACD(), Signal()) and barcomplete;
will generate Buy signals and plot them as arrows on the screen at 
the end of each bar.  It will also successfully backtest those Buy 
and sell signals. 

Now what it will not do:
With this same Buy(or Sell) rule as above, I have never been able to 
have the Buy rule trigger an order via Interactivebrokers using the 
ibc interface.  Never with all the different versions of AB that I 
have employed (and enjoyed).  I am using AB 5.20.1 RC-1 now.  I have 
also discovered that with the barcomplete statement in the Buy 
command line, the system will not execute a SAY command to announce 
the Buy signal, although it does so if the barcomplete is commented 
out.
Has anyone else noticed this problem?  Btw, I have the same problem 
switching to another computer, and with XP or Vista.  I would really 
like to have the barcomplete functionality if anyone has found a work 
around.
