We are testing simple crossovers but we want to exit at the market close.
We want to add it to the simple Equis MA crossovers in Strategy Tester. Then we can test holding OverNight vs exiting EOD.
Would anyone have that formula we could use. Thanks in advance. Paulette

Hi Paulette,
When starting the simulation, where you pick you equity settings, or Points Only, there is a "More" button.
Click this More button
Select the Trade Execution tab
Uncheck Realistic Market prices
Set the fields (Buy Price, Sell price, etc.) to Close and set Delay order opening to zero

Trader Joe,
Mucho appreciado - just to say that we forgot to mention this was being done on intra day - normally 15 and 6 min - charts - not daily. Perhaps that makes a difference - otherwise - its Drop Dead Easy and will have a look at some results overnight. Thanks again, Paulette
We also are running some 7/21 EMA crosses on the main Market indices - but in that case - to take the trade, there has to be a confirming candle in the direction of the cross for as long as it takes - or until the cross reverses - but always a confirming candle. Suspect that is a bit trickier - but after the EOD ones are working perhaps we can move on to that - we use it for the DAX, FTSE, DOW and SouthAfrican Indices - on 5 and 15 min charts. Bye for now... Paulette

Hi TJ
Well - seems not to be working with an end of day exit for 15 min charts. Any suggestions how we can put that in with intra-day rather than daily time frames?
Thanks Paulette

Hi Trader Joe,
The solution that you suggest still couldn't solve Paulette's question as she was asking how to EXIT AT MARKET CLOSE during simulation. Should she need to write some instructions on "Buy Order" or "Buy to cover order" under system editor before running simulation ?
Tks
