I have been looking for one thing in system tester ever since DOS.  How many
years is that?

I would like to be able to execute my trades on the Open and exit on the
Close in order to be able to test a couple of old day trading systems we
have lying around.

Paranoia...you only have to be right once to make it all worthwhile!

Ken:

When you guys begin to look at overhauling the system tester module, I
would urge you to solicit suggestions from the participants on this list and
use us as a sounding board for your ideas and plans.  Set up an ad hoc
e-mail list if you think it's appropriate.

It seems that several of the enhancements in Version 7 were developed
in something of a vacuum  --  fun gadgets and good ideas, but not really
useful to, or practical for, serious traders and investors, so not the best
allocation of your development resources.
