I am trying to write a simple trading system for the Enhanced System Tester that will Buy at the Open (under special conditions) and Sell at the *same day* Close (unless a stop has been reached).
Is there a trick to doing this? I have successfully gotten the BUY triggers to work, and when I run the Enhanced System tester I see a list of BUY orders that match exactly what I want. But... how do I get it to SELL that same day? I tried a simple command like: Sell if Close > 0 (i.e. it will always sell at the Close if a stop has not been reached). Unfortunately, it is always selling it at the NEXT day's Close, not the current day...
How do I get it to sell on the *current* day at the Close and not hold it to the next day?
Thanks!

Actually I solved it using a combination of tricks from other posts. For anyone having the same problem, here it is:
Set your Buy trigger to look 1 day ahead at the Open conditions you are interested in, but then set Strategic Delay to +1 day. The Buy then happens at the Open of the day you want.
Example Buy formula: Ref([your entry condition],+1)
Then set your Sell trigger to be at the Close with zero Strategic Delay. Bingo, it sells out at the Close of the same day!
