Better Stop Loss Order simulation

Hi,

If I understand it correctly the Max Loss option (System Editor, Stops)
uses the price (OHLC) you select in the System Tester-Options to calculate
the Stops.

I trade at the Open and am adding 

	OR (L < (1 - PercentStopLong) * O) to the Close Long and 
	OR (H > (1 + PercentStopShort) * O) to the Close Short formulas 

gives a better Stop Loss simulation as it compares the trading price (I
trade the Open) with the low of the day. This would simulate an Intraday
Stop executed on the next day if you are using a one-day trade delay.

Can anyone see a flaw in this or think of a better way to simulate Stop
Loss Orders?

Happy Trading,
Herman.
