Re: Exit on Close

Probably the best you can do is to test for enter on the close the day
before you intend to enter at the open.  If you are using the EOD you have
to get your entry signal the day before anyway.  Admittedly, this is not
perfect but the open is "usually" near the close so should give a fairly
good idea of what the entry price will be (of course, there is no guarantee
that your fill and the open price your data shows are going to match
anyway).  Then for your exit simply define
entrylevel:= whatever your signal is;
ref(entrylevel,-1) and set the system tester to sell at close, 0.
