[amibroker] Re: scaling question

If your strategy is to sell at the open of the next bar, based on a 
signal found on the current bar, then set your sell trade to a 1 day 
delay and your sell price to the open.

The price will be set to the open of the day of the actual sell, as 
opposed to the day of the signal.

SetTradeDelays(0, 1, 0, 0); // Delay sell till open of next bar
SellPrice = Open;
