I have 3 suggestions for MetaStock:

1. In the Enhanced System Tester, make the Trade Execution selection (Buy and Sell at Open, Close, etc.) a part of the SYSTEM definition, NOT a part of the setup of the Simulation. I have models that buy on the Open and others that buy on the Close. I am constantly having to go in and change this in the Simulation setup (and it is buried pretty deeply in there). It really should be an inherent part of the SYSTEM itself and not something you have to adjust when setting up a "New Simulation".
   
2. I have several posts elsewhere about the fact that I am buying at the Close, yet the Stop conditions are being checked for that day. So the Simulator is occasionally selling at the High or Low of the day I enter, even though I am not entering until the Close. This is obviously impossible. A Moderator (kindly) tried to explain, but honestly I see no rationale why the Stops should be enacted on the day you buy, if it is at the Close. OK, maybe some ticks happen in the AftMkt. But 99.99% of the time this will be meaningless for most users. Whereas having the Simulator kill a play before it has even been entered is just wrong and is creating havoc with my (and I assume anyone else) who buys at the close and wants to use stops. Yes, I understand you can use formulas to get around this, but IMHO we should not have to resort to that when it would be very simple for the Simulator to start looking at Stops the day after a Buy-at-Close order.
   
3. I understand that Meta will not display tick or time charts for the PreMkt and AftMkt. Yet this data is readily available (I use eSignal and can easily get this). For more powerful intraday modeling capability, it would be helpful to have the actual ticks/timed trades for ALL market hours, not just the core hours (plus a single lumped bar at the beginning and end for outside core hours).

Thanks!
