Yes, I see what you are saying.  On 17 Jan 2003 the system bought at the 
close of 25.3047 but it also claimed to have executed a profit target exit 
of 25.912 which had to have occurred before the buy.  I am not surprised 
those wild numbers were not valid.  I think we can also say that immediate 
stop activation can only be used with entry on open when using EOD data.

OK, so we turn off immediate activation of stops so they become effective 
the following day.  I'll do a couple of runs with that setup and see what 
happens.

Thanks for pointing out the error.
Cheers
Sid
