Hi! I have a general question regarding using systems for trading. I have run a simulation of the "Equis - Trend Analysis " system. Looking at the results, it seems that a signal was generated on January 26th 2006 for AA. (Explorations confirmed this) The problem is, the simulation seems to have bought on January 26th AT THE OPEN. My question is: am I using invalid simulation parameters to portray real-life situations? If the signal was generated on the 26th, I assume it is at the end of the day, so it would have been impossible to buy at the open on the 26th! Am I getting this correctly and should I have to put a one day delay on buying during my simulations? Thank you very much!

Check in your MS Users Manual, in the section "Testing Your Trading Ideas" for "Trade Execution". Look for terms like, "realistic market prices" etc. Change your settings and try it again. Let us know if the results differ? wabbit :D
