Yes, the delay needs to be written such as:
1.Buy 1 bar delay after a buy signal,
2. Buy the Open less a 1/2 point(O-0.50),
First, the "BUY" formula must be referenced from the current bar as:
ref("BUY"),-1)
Second, the "OPEN-0.50" as a limit is placed into the limit section
of the buy
Third, the limit does not have any strategic delay(NOTE: the
strategic delay will only delay x minutes in the SAME bar(ie 1 delay
in a 5 minute bar will delay the order 1 minute, 2 will delay 2
minutes up to 5.) You CANNOT delay x bars with this function.
Fourth, the simulation needs to be set for execution on "OPEN with NO
delay".
This setup works!
