TradeIsEntry appears to always be False - 03/27/18 18:51
I'm trying to use TradeIsEntry (http://zorro-project.com/manual/en/trade.htm) in my script. However, I'm finding it's always false, even after trades have been entered into. I've tested this in 1.74 and the beta (1.80.7)
I found anther script here: http://www.opserver.de/ubb7/ubbthreads.p...true#Post452443 that uses TradeIsEntry where it appears that TradeIsEntry is also not working.
After I've inserted printf statements in the above code (see below), it is showing that TradeIsEntry is always false.
How can I properly use TradeIsEntry such that it returns True?
