OK. Thanks!

But is there a way to use limit orders instead of market orders? The spread is so big it eats the profits before you even enters the trade......

Also, if I should use the "larger than" respectively "smaller than" instead of crosses over/under: Is there a way I can avoid re-entries in the same direction on the same entry signal?

*********************************************************************
You could still use a limit order but give it a little more room (through testing to find best amount) by saying something like -
Then Buy ("LE-RSI") next bar at open + 2 points limit;

EasyLanguage will also allow you to define the entry as

SellShort ("ShortLimit") next bar open next bar + 2 limit ;

Thanks KDog. I am liking what I am seeing here thus far. It will take a bit of time to learn my way around. Good to see that you are doing well. Sorry to the OP for diverting off topic a bit here.
