Tz or all,
I am really happy that the Applystop take care of the open.

1/the Applystop can be use in a same Long trading system in two 
directions:
profit ( or target) and stoploss
Example:

/***********Buy& Sell Signals**************/
Buy= Cross( Close, MA( Close, 20 ) );
Sell= Cross( MA( Close, 50 ), Close );

/*Profit ApplyStop*/
ApplyStop( 1, 1, 
Optimize( "min. Profit stop level", 4, 2, 10, 1 ), 1 );
/*Loss ApplyStop*/
ApplyStop( 0, 1, 
Optimize( "max. loss stop level", 4, 2, 10, 1 ), 1 );

2/Do the ApplyStop keep the same value during all the trade ?
I think yes, just to confirm.
example 
day0: buysignal
day3: buysignal
day5: buysignal
the applystop take the buysignal at day0 and keep the same value 
during all the trade.the buysignal at day3 and day5 are not taken.

3/In this case ( yes at question 2)
The applystop could be used for a money management for a % Fixed Risk:
Example:
The position size is computed from your entry price and apply stop 
value. For example if your entry price is $10 and your apply stop is 
$9 and you have a fixed dollar risk of $500 ( 2% of Capital of 
50000),then you calculate your position size as follows:

Number of shares = int(500/(10-9))*10 = 500*10 = 5000

4/Tz 
Do you think it will be possible in next realease of system tester

Thanks
