  ++Ah Rats! I fugured that there would be a way to say that if there was
  ++already a trade on this bar  don't make another trade until the
  ++next bar.

  ++Thanks

  ++Don't issue two orders on the same bar.
  ++
  ++If you tell TS to go long and go short, e.g. at price LongStop and
  ++ShortStop, and the next bar hits both those prices, then TS can and
  ++will execute both orders just like you told it to.  If you're
  ++bracketing the market with orders, you should either use wider
  ++brackets or shorter bar lengths so your bars don't hit both orders.
  ++
  ++There's no way to do OCO logic, where the first order to be hit
  ++cancels the second.  In any case TS4 doesn't know in what order the
  ++prices were really hit anyway.  It only knows OHLC for sure.  So
  ++anything you do with multiple orders in one bar is error-prone and is
  ++not an accurate indication of what might have happened in realtime.
  ++That includes MM stops that get hit in the bar of entry and ANY other
  ++case where multiple orders are hit by one bar.
