I
think that I was just reading more into what you said than what you
meant.

It
should work as you intend if you set the delay = one. That will
give you a signal after the close today to buy at the open tomorrow.
Your stops will be based on your buy price.

Part
of the confusion comes from where you say "<FONT face="Courier New"
color=#000000 size=3>How do I setup this scan with no delay for the entry. ie:
to alert me to buy at tommorrows open?"

tomorrow's open is actually a delay of one, not
zero.

Help with SetTradeDelays please!Chuck,Thanks
for your reply.Guess I didn't explain to well. Here goes...At
the CLOSE of today I do a scan.If any stocks come up I'll buy them at
tomorrows OPEN.I want this OPEN price to be used in calculating the
profit exit or initial stop. These stops may occur weeks from when I buy
it.The problem I noticed is the DAY that the profit and initial stop
is calculated.Cheers Glenn.--- In
