Thanks for the tip on the Check function. Unfortunately it doesn't work 
properly. I have a formula based entirely on the current day's closing 
prices, and the Check function correctly says there is no crystal ball 
effect. When I change Settings -> Trades -> Long Trades to trade at the 
open with zero days of delay, the check function still (incorrectly) 
says there is no crystal ball effect. This is clearly wrong -- it is 
not possible to trade at the open with indicators based on the same 
day's close -- and could trip up both the novice and seasoned user, 
giving them artificially high returns due to this artifact.

At the very minimum the program should check the formula against the 
settings (open, close, average, days of delay, etc.) and flag the user 
to any crystal ball. The user would then have the option of overriding 
the warning.
