[R-SIG-Finance] Quantstrat stoplimit orders not triggered

[microlino]

Thank you, Garrett!

However, unfortunately, it still does not work... The result is not
different from the original version.

As you can see from the orderbook below, a buy order at Close price is
placed whenever the signal is TRUE, i.e. after every bar that closes >1.41.
Simultaneously, a stoplimit order is placed along with every buy order at
the buy price -0.02. So far, so good.

What I expect is that every stoplimit order will be closed later through the
provided example data set, as price falls further. However, only one of the
stoplimit orders is closed, I have highlighted it below. It seems that the
stoplimits are closed only if (price < buyprice - 0.02) AND (signal ==
TRUE). You can easily see this logic in my example if you use a buy
threshold lower than 1.41.

Closing of a simple stoplimit should be triggered by price only, at least
this is what I think it should do. Are stoplimit orders defined differently
in quantstrat, so I need to code another signal that controls the stoplimit
orders separately, somehow?
