Volume is unreliable you can miss ticks. Bars is unreliable (max bars on chart) Always use timestatic dateTime Time0; if (Time0 == Time[0]) return; Time0 = Time[0];

Too overcome a tendancy of too high or too low of a price entry, I have been trying to install a Stochastics
and RSI Overbought and Oversold OpenOrder Delay. In other words, not a set number of bars or time after
the Original entry signal.ONLY Stochastics and RSI for final OPEN_BUY or OPEN_SELL.
I have been using a simple EA to test this with and it will not work. This is easy to determine by just
running the Visual Strategy test with a Stochastics and RSI overlay. It is clearly entering when they are High
in the case of Long and Short when they are low. Maybe ya can't do what I am trying to do here. If not does
this mean using Boolean will get around it?
