Although I originally thought of something else. It is a good point you
brought up, because I believe this is actually a FLAW in Metastock. Because
if you ENTER LONG if OPEN < Ref(CLOSE,-1) and EXIT LONG CLOSE and set in
the TRADE PRICE the entry price at OPEN without delay then it enters the
trade at the open which is correct. BUT even with setting the exit price at
the close without delay it still exit's the next day, which is not correct I
believe.
This is an error !
