7.2 System test complaint

I recently received the new Version 7.2 and like it much better than 7.03.
It seems more robust than before. My complaint is that the System tester
still doesn't work. I normally use profit stops to exit positions, say 10%,
and they work fine. The only problem is the entry price is always the low
for the day and the exit price is the high! And I believe this is true no
matter how you choose to exit trades. This causes some of my systems to be
almost 100% accurate, something I know can't be possible. I look at the
trades in the summary one by one and the 10% profit objective can't be
reached on "some" trades if filled at the close on the entry bar and at best
the high (s/b close) on the exit bar. I don't know if anyone else notices
this problem, but for a short term swing trading system it makes the tests
totally irrelevant! And my complaint is that this is version 7.2 and its
still not fixed!...Am I the only one that sees this problem or do people not
care? Or maybe I don't know what the heck I'm talking about and just write
great systems!
