RE: EL question on buy limit

["the.crocs" <the.crocs@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Chris,

It is a problem with your MinMove settings. Have a look to your symbol
universe and check that.

Could somebody clue me in on what's happening with this?

If you have the following code:

If Date = 990416 Then Begin
    Buy("BuyLimit") 5 Contracts At 35.47 Limit;
End;


And the data for the next bar after 4/16/99 looks like this:
***** Date =  990419.00 ********
Open =      37.04
High =      37.34
Low =      33.47
Close =      34.88

Why is TradeStation 2000i executing this trade on 4/19 at 35.00?  Is 
there some sort of slippage being factored in?  What's happening here 
that I'm missing?

I haven't coded in EL since around 2002.  I had forgotten how flakey it 
can feel.  Ugh.

Thanks for the assistance. 

Chris
