Robert:

No, when you exit a position through a Close Long or Close Short rule, it is
only executed at the open, high, low or close.  I think we would all really
like this to be improved in Version 7 (or 6.6 even).

The "stops" dialogue allows you to exit a position, however, at the stop
price.

Good luck.
