Re[2]: EL question...

First try Net Profit.  It returns closed net profit so if it changes
you have your answer.  You could set MP=marketposition(0); then if
MP[1]is 1 or -1 or <>0 and MP[0]=0 then you test Net Profit for a
result.  Haven't tried it but I've used Net Profit a lot and used
marketposition(0) a lot.
