Hi Tom,
I must've misunderstood your question. Sorry to lead you down the
garden path.
Can you post your code, so I can have a look at it?

formula do not affect the backtest. My formula will auto trade at the
times in the formula and not at the times that the backtest trades
unless I have them the same. Then the backtest will match my actual
trading results as close as possible.

I would like to have 4 possible trades a day and 4 trades at the same
times in my backtesting, so that they will amost match.
