Never mind it just traded. It is suppose to trade on the cross of 2 MA. There have been 2 crosses since I went live with it. No command was issued the first time. It did trade the second opportunity. It has always acted as expected when back testing. I will ask for help it happens again. Thanks anyway. ---Tom

Good stuff. The forum post obviously scared the little blighter into action.

If you need help in future, may I introduce a very helpful fellow known as Print()?


Just put Print() in the appropriate places in your code, and it will tell you what's happening and what's not.

 
Thanks for the tip. I will most definetly use this. ---Tom
