Thank you Lief and Keith.

I'd never used ExRem before, and for some stupid reason, I thought it was a cosmetic thing that removed the signal arrows from the chart

I haven'tquite honed it down yet, but certainly the
    Buy = ExRem( Buy, Short );
    Short = ExRem( Short , Buy );
works well.

Thanks again.

Robert Z

Did you look at the ExRem command:

buy = ExRem( buy, sell );
sell = ExRem( sell, buy );

which helps ignore multiple signals.

You might also look at the Flip command.
