RE: Optimization Speed TS2000i vs TS8.1

["Chris Evans" <evanscje@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So you need to say something like:
If Entry ("A") is activated then EntryP(#) =entryprice 
(so far that's do-able)
But the # is unknown since you may already have a long position 
and you don't know which # it's entryprice was assigned to
since that depends on when or if that earlier entry got stopped , or 
is still open etc... 
Am I making sense?

You can get information about the entry from Tradestation.

You can get the ENTRY DATE, TIME and PRICE.  So if you save
the order information when you generate the orders you can tell on the
next bar which entry was hit.  Check to see if the market position, size or
number of entries has changed, then loop through all of your entries that
were active on the previous bar and you should be able to figure it out.

This works unless two entries could have been triggered at the same price.
In this case tradestation will pick one and it may not have been the one you
would prefer.
