Hi Mike,
I went over the code that you referred to,and I do have a couple of questions if it is OK with you(or anyone else).The code is below,which I am referring to..
I understand your definition of Bull100,not quite sure why == is used as opposed to =.I will read up on that.
I dont follow why the third trigger has 3000,4000 in the code,and there is no IFF(fourthtrigger)
"SetPositionSize(IIf(firstTrigger, 1000, IIf(secondTrigger, 2000,
IIf(thirdTrigger, 3000, 4000))), spsValue);"
In regards to reports,it appears that there is only one entry price even though there may be multiple scale in entries.Where could i see a detailed list of the actual entries
Thanks in advance,
Allan

As such, there almost certainly is some subtlety of the particular example that could not be done using arrays. Or perhaps an array implementation would have involved too much indirection as to be overly confusing.
