Actually, I understand that's the way it works in theory.
However, I've a vague memory that someone here (or
on one of the other many trading lists) reported that
the stops were checked first, then the exits, so that
a stop could appear to have been triggered even 
the OHLC order would have prevented it under the
bouncing-tick interpretation.  Maybe I misunderstood.
I'd be grateful for definitive word on this issue, as 
Omega's documentation has never seemed more
than one small step above asking passersby on 
the street.
