[amibroker] Re: Trading a system - explorations vs. backtesting

I'm using that setting - I'm just not quite sure how to interpret what
it says (I trade EOD only), with backtesting buying/selling on the
close, 1 day delayed.

So I have:
--------------------------
Ticker/Trade/Date/Price/Ex. Date
IWM/Open Long/4-8-08/71.02/4-15-08/68.53
EEM/Open Long/4-14-08/139.01/4-15-08/139.01
QQQQ/Open Long/4-14-08/44.08/4-15-08/44.08

How would you interpret that setup?  I see it as:

IWM - close position on close of 4-15-08
EEM - open position on close of 4-15-08
QQQQ - open position on close of 4-15-08

But am I interpreting this correctly?
