Roy,

Thanks for your suggestions.  I'll try them all when I get home 
tonight.

At my delicate stage of development, it seems to me that "LOW" 
and "Ref(LOW,-1)" would be recalculated daily, which is not what I 
want.  For example, if the low were 20 on the day that the buy 
conditions were satisfied, I would want it to stay at 20 (at least 
until I start it trailing).  Am I correct in saying that it would be 
recalculated daily?

Regards,
Alan
