Re: how to do "buy if some function of index" is true?

["Gerard Heuby" <gheuby@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You can do it in referencing the SPX with the "Security Data Function".
No need for SPX to be opened, exact syntax is depending if the datas are 
online or local datas.
You can find examples in MS user manual page 241 (Pro 7.0/7.2 manual).
