UPDATED:

//  ​The cBot when started will execute an  order, setting Take Profit and Stop Loss.
//  In the event that the position opens it prints a message to the log.
//  In the event that the position closes it prints a message to the log and executes another order.

RE:

impressive fast reply!!

I was just going to see if I can close my post becasue I used your Martingale Sample to figure out how to do it.

Your code is super helpful!

Thanks!
