Bob: Thanks, interesting techniques on the CROSS(thru .5) and the 
ALERT /HOLD.  To me this code is really compact( nested?) as some 
experts are known to produce. 

Most of the time I write the logic for BUY setups as 'state' levels 
and not impluse like CROSS will yield. So much to learn and so 
little gray matter on my part. 
 
Do you know of a language reference on Metastocks procedures on the 
Web? I don't want the product but it would be great to have a 
functional reference. 

Thanks again
JOE
