I know this question may seem a bit childish but honestly.

If Last buy price is less than ________ sell something.

It works but haphazardly.

The question I really desire an answer to is what fills in the blank? What are the last buy or sell compared to? I can't really effectively use the rule unless I know what it compares to. If the rules uses the Last price ticker then Likely I should use that price for what price to buy or sell at. If it uses an ask or a bid I should know what one. If its user selected that is perfect. Right now I don't know.

The second issue I see so far is that the rule in question doesn't seem to frequently work. I have a trailing stop if the ask goes up 1% that triggered about 1% below my last sell. That says to me that the price dropped 2%. It had to fall 1% below where it placed its buy. Its buy landed almost exactly 1% below the last sell. As a different rule should be buying back down 1% (unless I don't understand how it works) this rule never should have purchased anything.

Is the percentage raw or bound? By that I mean is <1% going to wait for less than 1% of the last price or is it going to wait for a drop of 1% from the last price.
As an example that never did get answered before. If I have last sell > 1% it seems to buy up a bit over 1%. If I have last buy < 1% it seems to sell at down 1%. The problem is that it doesn't always do anything. In other words is the % just an amount above or below 100%?

Bug Fix 4 installed and restarted so I should be using it and both last buy and last sell are broken. Or I misunderstand them. If you could take a moment and explain what the comparison is to and if the percent's are added or subtracted from 100% it would be awesome.

There is a "indicator" variable is any number displayed in the interface. It can be last price, balance or any other.
You create a rule by selecting one indicator as "IF", then the rule compare values only with selected indicator on every value change or if it don't changing, than half of second interval.
There is "Base value" based on selected indicator what will be compared to current indicator value.

Every time rule enabled/re-enabled than base value store current indicator value.
If you use "Trailing value" option, than base value will store current indicator value when trend goes to another direction too.
So it works this way: IF "Base Value"*6%>"Current Value".

Example of not trailing rule: "If price goes more 5% than sell all":
1) Current price $1000 (base value stored as $1000)
2) Price goes down to $980 (nothink happend)
3) Price goes to $1029 (nothink happend)
4) Price goes $1050 (rule executed)

Example of trailing rule: "If price goes more 5% (trailing) than sell all":
1) Current price $1000 (base value stored as $1000)
2) Price goes down to $980 (base value changed to $980)
3) Price goes to $1029 (rule executed - 980+5%)

Note: you should add fee to trailing value percentage, because it compare exact values.

Soon I'll add "base value" to interface, but there is no space and I need more time to make changes.
And yes, there was bugs in trailing value, they fixed in Bug Fix 4.

So Left to right
My Orders last buy price : Goes less than : Percentage 1% : Sell Amount : 0.01 : At Market Bid Price

What value is My Orders Last Buy Price compared to?
I see many potential indicators. Ask, Bid, Low, High, Last. Each has a separate and distinct number almost constantly.

As an example Lets say it compares Last buy to Last price. Now if I am selling at bid and last ask is more then the bid price My rules will not achieve my desired result. I will spend time looking for what actually triggers the rule. Since you wrote it I assume you would know what the actual base value is since it apparently isn't currently selectable.

lol I've been trying to get this information out of him for the past 2 pages. The rule statement seems like it's missing something. If the rule was written like this (which is something we cant do since my orders last buy/sell price isn't in the second rule column) then I think we could easily get our desired results.

If market bid price > .6% of my orders last buy price (plus exchange fee) sell amount .01BTC at Market bid Price

or

If market ask price < .6% of my orders last sell price (plus exchange fee) buy amount .01BTC at Market Ask Price
