Hi!
I'm using daily (ohlcv) data from yahoo for my testing in EST, and it is making stops difficult to tune - if a stop is triggered, the price used is the open of the following day. Is the problem that MS will not accept defining of a trade price via the buy sell rules? There's a little to the contrary in the forums or manual, but not much. I try to define a trade price below, but the position trades show the result is just a yes or no to exiting at the next open.

Long exit:
entry:=ValueWhen(1,Simulation.CurrentPositionAge=0,open);
if(L<entry*(1-opt4),entry*(1-opt4), if(RSI(23)>45.67,open,0));

Thanks :)

EDIT - Well, the max loss under the stops tab is doing what I want, the manual said it was based on total equity, but it appears to be working off the entry amount. Would like to work on ATR and other stops though, so any info on specifying a trade price other still appreciated.

Try replacing the entry line with:

entry:=extfml("forum.ref",open,simulation.currentpositionage);

You'll need the forum.dll if you havent already got it; see the files section.
