Hi,

I am attempting to write a system test which is based on crossover of 
a support/resistance level. I am encountering a couple of issues 
which I hope some kind soul can assist.

{Requirements}
In my trading system, I need to generate a signal as and when the 
price is >= or <= a certain level. Eg. If I have a support level at 
1000, I need a signal to buy when the price is <= 1000. Likewise if I 
have a resistance level at 1050, I need a signal to sell if the price 
is >= 1050.

The first issue is that there is no data array (or I do not know of 
any) that allows me to determine that the price has reached or 
crossover the support/resistance level. As such, I have no way to 
generate the signal when the crossover occur. Using the High/Low data 
array does not fulfil my requirement as I need the signal as it 
happens. Using these data arrays also led to the second issue as 
follows.

Having to use the High/Low data array, the buy/sell signal is 
generated for the NEXT bar. However, what I need is to have the 
signal generated at the point where the price crosses the 
support/resistance level (signal generated at the current bar).

Hope I am not confusing in my writing.
My thanks in advance.

Regards,
Stenrique
