[amibroker] Stop question

Hello All,

When using Applystop, if the CORRECT price to exit is the high of a 
bar (if selling) or the low of a bar (if covering), the backtester 
will not exit the trade there but will sell/cover at the next 
highest available price on a subsequent bar.

For example, if I have the following:

ApplyStop(1,2,10,1);//profit target

and the price goes up by 10 but this is the high of the bar (I am 
using 5 sec bars) then it will not exit there but will exit at 11 
points instead on a later bar.

Is there a bug or am I doing something wrong/need to set something?

Cheers

Sam
