Yes, this is exactly what I want to do. The first test, on 3-bar
trades, works correctly. The second test, involving some 2-bar and
some 3-bar trades, I cannot figure out. As I mentioned, the 3-bar all
exit on the Open, in both cases, while the 2-bar would exit on the
Close.

Can I do that? I thought that when using ApplyStop it was necessary
to set Sell = 0. So that is how I have it right now. I am really
lost I guess.
