Re: AW: How does one keep TS4 from making 2 trades on the same bar?

No, that won't work.  The question concerned hitting two orders on 
one bar.  In order for those orders to be active, they had to be set 
on the PREVIOUS bar.  On that previous bar -- when you would have to 
be doing your BarsSinceEntry test -- NEITHER of the orders have been 
hit, since they aren't active yet.  BarsSinceEntry will refer to the 
current or previous position on that bar, if any.

In other words,
 * on bar N you issue your orders.
 * on bar N, BarsSinceEntry refers to a previous position.
 * on bar N+1, the orders you issued on bar N can be hit.
 * on bar N+1, you CANNOT prevent one or the other order from
   being taken by checking BarsSinceEntry, since the orders are
   hit BEFORE your system logic is called on that bar.  Your
   system code gets called at the CLOSE of the bar, so by the
   time you check BarsSinceEntry on bar N+1, both orders have
   already been hit and executed.
