[amibroker] Re: Need help on rotation system

I think you want to run in daily mode.  You have your entry/exits set 
to 1 bar delay.  That way when you run on the weekend, it will use 
data up through Friday and give you trades to enter on Monday.

If you are running in weekly timeframe, then a 1-bar delay would be a 
1-week delay, which I do not believe is what you want.
