Jose, Thanks for your response. Your technique does not solve my
problem because the "end" condition is not conditional. What I need to
be able to do is set the TotalShares value back to zero after the
SellSignal is generated. But the SellSignal is dependent on the Ave
Price which is in turn dependent on the TotalShares, value. I can also
compute the AvePrice using the number of BuySignal s, but the number of
BuySignal s must also be cleared buy the SellSignal. I have thought of
creating a data array of previous Ave Price s, but then I can't figure
out how to determine how far to index back into the data array of
previous Ave Price s, because that too requires me to know how many
BuySignal s have occurred since the most recent SellSignal which is
conditional on which AvePrice you choose which is dependent on .... I
can't believe that this is not a common question and that it has been
solved. Bill
