Hi Alan
Sorry it's taken so long to look at your problem.

I guess I posted it.

Not in this case.
The main problem with your code is one of logic. You have two conditions to meet and the first is
exclusive of the second. Take line {4}. If Buy is true then BarsSice(Buy) must be zero.
BarsSince(Sell) is never going to be less than ZERO so when the first condition is true the second
condition is never going to be true
{4}If((Buy AND (BarsSince(Buy)>BarsSince(Sell))),1,0);
You can change the code around to
If((Buy AND (BarsSince(Buy)<BarsSince(Sell))),1,0);
but then I think the first condition is redundant. Save yourself some space and write the code like
this..
BarsSince(Buy)<BarsSince(Sell); {and}
(BarsSince(Sell)<BarsSince(Buy))*-1;
Generally you should stick with "<" rather than ">" when using this as a latching function.Otherwise
the polarity of your result is inverted (result is FALSE when it should be TRUE).
Since I'm not quite sure what you're aiming for as a final result you should consider my comments
only in regard to coding practice and not as a recommendation to create any specific result.
