You use the BuyPrice, Sellprice, Shortprice and Coverprice to specify 
the exact price you want you Backtester to use.

In your systems code you must make sure your trade price falls within 
the bounds of the bar, i.e. above the Low and below the High. This 
means that it is possible that your signal will not be executed (when 
it is out of these bounds), to handle this you must have a backup 
trade price, for example to sell at the next bar's Close with a
market 
order (subject to unknown slippage).
