I'm having a problem using the limit orders.  I would like the system 
tester to log a buy at a limit price when the formula conditions are 
met.  I would like to write a limit order that waits until formula 
conditions are met (say day 1) and then buys the next bar (day 2) 
when and if the high of the previous day (day 1) is exceeded by say 
0.1.  

I've tried several different Limit formulas, two examples are:
    REF(H,-1) + 0.1
    H + .1

When I look at the results on a chart, I'm definately not getting 
what I would like to happen. It is fufilling the formula criteria 
(day 1) but it looks like it may be ignoring the limit formula, 
because the day 2 high may be lower than day 1 and its still filling 
the order (I'm not sure where its getting the fill price from).  I'm 
not using any stops.

Am I doing something wrong?

Has anyone else tried the limit orders feature?  Any success??
