My apologies;
I previously sent this message to the list with a chart as an
attachment.
I find that is not allowed but will send the attachment to anyone
requesting it.
Not sure I can get much help without it,
but here goes.

Hi list members,
I am running this system on the emini Russell, 1 minute bars.
Buy and sell signals should alternate.
But they seem to be bothered by the profit target.
The profit target signal's description says it is from T4.
(Of course I'm using this on TS2ki and wonder if somehow this might be
causing the problem.)
Code is below; and a picture of the chart showing the problem is
attached.

1. After the second entry, an Se, there should be an Le 2 bars later to
reverse that trade.
2. Likewise 3 bars later, there should be an Se to reverse that trade.
Could someone please help me with this?
(There are other problems but maybe later.)
TIA
Dr. Greg Hunt
