Hello,
Since the settings are set by the user himself, I dont think its necessary to check that aspect since anyone using 0 Delay for either Buy or Sell is bound to know that this is impossible to use for Live Trade.
The main Utility of Check function is to see as to whether formulas try to look into the future (for example, using Zig function).
Cheers

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.
