I understand the TS definition quite well, Pierre, and I've 
explained it several times on this list.  See e.g.
http://www.purebytes.com/archives/omega/2001/msg11195.html

The case I described was nothing like that.  I had an example 
that showed MarketPosition changing on a totally different bar 
than I_MarketPosition.  This happened **in backtesting** and not 
in realtime "update-every-tick" conditions.  If I get a chance I 
will try to reproduce the example for your edification.
