[Metastockusers] Closing positions overnight

In writing a system for testing, has anyone written rules which will 
close an open position at the end of the day (perhaps 15 minutes 
before market close), and then re-open again the next morning?  I'm 
aiming to model my current day-trading strategy where I'm not 
experienced enough to leave positions open overnight to avoid big 
gains/losses from gap open.  So, I'd like to remove the effects over 
gap open changes from my test results.

I imagine that the time-based close is easy.  But, I have not figured 
out yet how to re-open a position on the open of the next day, OR 
probably better - how to re-evaluate the position based on the 
initial trading the next day to see whether yesterday's position 
should still be open.  Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Gary
