Thank you grahm;
Yes, realize I might not get the trade if my price is passed...
Am I correct in setting PriceBoundChecking false, test this?
I read posts to effect that the back-tester can't give correct
results if future bars are referenced. If this is the case, how can I
tune my entry price?
Would it be better to turn delay off for back testing and set the
current price?
Thanks, and good luck in your coding endevor.
