2. int start(){
       static int nUpTicks, nDnTicks; static double lastPrice;
       if (Bid > lastPrice){ nUpTicks++; nDnTicks = 0; }
       else{                 nDnTicks++; nUpTicks = 0; }
       lastPrice = Bid;
       :

thanks for the code and the tip mate...i'm just trying to build a simple prototype to test a particular strategy myself first...if I see a light at the end of the tunnel then I will find a CODER to HELP me build the whole concept.
