NIck,
Precedence is from top of list to bottom. Just change the list order using
Move Up/Down buttons to get required sequence.
You should note that where multiple symbol conditions are true only the
symbol nearest top of list will be indicated on chart i.e.
symbol1 for condition1
symbol2 for condition2
if conditions 1 & 2 are both true only symbol1 shows on chart.
This can lead the unwary to misleading results with high order symbols
"masking" other conditions you may well be interested in. To get the true
picture of conditions firing you need to build up the symbol table using a
bit of Boolean algebra on conditions e.g.
symbol1 for condition1 and not condition2
symbol2 for condition2 and not condition1
symbol3 for condition1 and condition2
etc.

Subject: Symbols - order of precedence?
Hi group, I wonder if anyone can help me by answering the following
questions:
1) When using an Expert that includes multiple formulas, will the chart
symbols (I mean the buy and sell signals that appear on a chart) for those
formulas appear in any particular order of precedence? In other words, if 2
different symbols are valid for the bar in question, will one of them
overwrite the other?
2) If so, what is the order of precedence and how can you control it? Does
it depend, for example, on the top-to-bottom sequence of the formulas in the
Expert? In other words, if you have a preference for which symbol should
appear, can you arrange the sequence to make it happen that way?
Many thanks,
Nick
