Interesting exercise.  I tried it while waiting for some data, and I could
not get MetaStock to open and close the position on the same day.  This is
in spite of Equis Support's Feb 8 message:

          "MetaStock Professional and MetaStock for Windows 95/NT
           versions 6.52 both support entry and exit on different data
           arrays on the same day. Enter at the open and exit at the
           close for example."

Can anyone else shed some light on this apparent problem (or goof-up on my
part)?
