Paul - thanks for the code. It's still generated only one trade for
the SPY.

I'm wondering about two aspects - as to whether test lines of code
will actually work:

> > Buy = Condition1 AND Condition2;
> > BuyPrice = HHV(H,2);
> >
> > Sell = C > BuyPrice AND BarsSince(Buy) >= 1;

Can I use BarsSince Buy this way?
