Steve,
If you generate a report you will see that the "open position gain/loss"
reflects this incomplete trade.
Personally I prefer to close trades at the end. In the absence of a option
setting to allow that I use the following (courtesy of Tomasz) to force a
sale at the end date.
......
barnumber = cum( 1 );
lastbar = barnumber == lastvalue( barnumber );
sell = SELL or LASTBAR;
regards
Richard
