that works fine - of course it isn't quite as easy with a limit order where
you don't know whether your order was executed except by testing prices on
subsequent bars.

O.K. Then maybe this would work. I don't use limit orders but assuming that
limit orders are good til filled, the code could go something like this.

{...as long as buyhit=1, this is the entry currently active....}

vars:buystop(0),buyhit(0),mp(0),lim(0);

mp=marketposition;

lim=5;

if mp<>1 then buyhit=0;

if conditionQ then buystop=0;

if conditionX then begin
  buystop=C+lim;
  {limit order goes here}
end;

if H>=buystop and buystop>0 then begin
  if L<=buystop then buyhit=1
    else buyhit=0;
  buystop=0;
end;
