Jimmy, Peyton and Alex

    Thanks for your comments. I am still a little baffled at what I am
seeing for results. It looks like on the one hand I see orders that
are put in, I have print statements in the code, but never executed even tho
the limit price is more than satisfied and then on the other hand I see
orders that look like they get executed two or three times. I am going to
read thru the Easylang guide and see if I can figured it out.Its definitely
not as simple as I would like.  Now I understand why I used to repeatedly
see posts on this subject.

Thanks again
Jerry
