{

var rc = account.placeMarketOrder(getSymbol(),

parseFloat(getParameter("Default Trading Size")),

ACTIONTYPE_BUY,

TIFTYPE_DAY);

}

function onOrderExecution(execution)

{

//process order results

if(getSymbol() != execution.getSymbol())

return;

Debug.writeLine("Execution for symbol " + execution.getSymbol() + " at price " + execution.getPrice());
