I trade the FOREX market which closes at 5 P.M. EST for that session
and opens at the same time, i.e., 5 P.M. EST. When I download the
data, the open price is always the same as the previous sessions
close price, as it should be ideally, because FOREX is not
interuppted by evening/overnight lull in trading. Hence, I use an
open price which is the same as the close price of the previous
sessions close price. I am not fully aware what this does to the
Candle patterns, but I would think it really does not matter...
But again, it should not matter, whether you are trading FOREX or
stocks or Bonds or Futures etc., If you always place an limit/stop
order to trade at previous sessions close price, instead of placing a
MOO order, the chances are that you will get a better price, because
the market may open higher and then move down to finish you. This
avoides the practice of chasing the market. You might say that if
you do this, you might miss the move, yes you might, but it is better
than taking a loss...

your posts. Each additional writing leaves me more confused,
especially, your asumption that today's close will somehow be the
same as tomorrow's opening. I've actually had people ask me to
excute at the high of the day or the low of the day...but, I've never
had a request to execute at yesterday's close.
