Bill - there is an enhancement request into Omega on this for TS2000i:
WhichExit(0) and WhichEntry(0)
These intrinsic functions are to return the actual coded entry and exit and
maintain a history of the values similar to EntryPrice() and BarsSinceExit()
if H > 1430 then ExitLong("Xlong") at Stopval Stop;
if the above results in an exit, then WhichExit(0) will have a value of
"Xlong"....
This functionality is BADLY needed. Current workaround: create a
COM-compliant DLL and use the DEVKIT API functions to access the Message
center data.
Anyone care to try ?
