Hello all. I am along time Metastock EOD 6.5 user. I just updated to 11. I want to get the MS 11 system tester to mirror the tester in MS 6.5 as a starting place I know. I can't seem to get the same results. All the system tests have delayed entries despite my setting for 0 delay. How do I set the tester to take trades at the close of the day the trade signal is generated? Thanks!

Hi spxer

There are three main ways that delays can be applied to systems in the EST.
The first is by adding a dealy to your Buy Order or Sell Short Order code.
The second is by setting a Strategic Delay (Bars) at the bottom of the same windows.
The third is by setting a value other than zero into the "Delay order opening" under the Trade Execution tab in the System Testing Options window (when creating a New Simulation).

Thank you Roy. That helped immensely. I had a delay in the order code window.

I am running the same optimized system test now on both programs (6.5 and 11). I see 11 is considerably slower. That is a surprise and disappointment to me as I would have thought a newer program running on a faster computer would zip past the older one.
