 Yes, Bob, I am doing something just like that.  I use it to lock in the 
price of a pyramided entry, so I can then caculate stops, exits etc. from 
that price.  So I think my code is...
 
 Vars:  PyramidEntry(-1);
 IF CurrentEntries=2 then PyramidEntry= PyramidEntry + 1;
 IF CurrentEntries=1 then PyramidEntry= -1;
 condition3= PyramidEntry>=0;
 
    {PYRAMID STOP LOSS}
 
 IF condition3 then begin
 PyraStop = Open[PyramidEntry] - (ATR * ChanLen);
 end;
 
 So how do I fix this?  I think you are saying that my "Open[PyramidEntry]" 
is causing the problem.  That the pyramidentry counter just keeps counter 
higher and higher.  I was under the impression (perhaps assumtion) that the 
counter was resetting itself.  But maybe it's not.  I better look at the code 
closer and maybe just add some code that resets the variable.  Does that 
sound right to you?
 Thanks a lot!
