Absolutely, just set prices to Close 0,0,0,0 and not Open 1,1,1,1.

But that was kind of my point. In practice, you don't have to buy at
the open of the next day. You can calculate your signals a few minutes
before the close, with a degree of accuracy that will be "good enough,"
and enter approximately on the close. If you trade the S&P or some
other futures contracts, you might instead calculate your signal on the
close and enter at roughly the same price a few minutes later in
after-hours trading. There is no need to set trade delays at all. Or
so it seems to me.
