625: Sidetrip

To understand what the macros are doing, you need to know that function calls push argument values onto a stack. When construct_trade is called with both a price argument and a number argument, the stack looks like this:

         *-- The argument count 
         | 
         |       *-- The price 
         |       | 
         |       |               *-- The number of shares 
         |       |               | 
         v       v               v
