I believe that either of the two following examples would give you what you want.
SetTradeDelays(0, 1, 0, 0); // Delay Sell 'till bar after signal
PositionSize = -10; // invest 10% of portfolio equity in single trade
RSISignal = RSI(4) < 30;
Buy = RSISignal;
BuyPrice = Close;
Sell = Buy;
SellPrice = Close;
/* Option 2
SetTradeDelays(0, 0, 0, 0);
PositionSize = -10; // invest 10% of portfolio equity in single trade
RSISignal = RSI(4) < 30;
Buy = RSISignal;
BuyPrice = Close;
FirstBuy = ExRemSpan(Buy, 1); // Clear redundant buys
Sell = Ref(FirstBuy, -1); // Sell if bought previous bar
SellPrice = Close;
*/
As for the apparent use of stops in your results, do you have any AFL code that is overriding the settings (e.g. ApplyStops)?
