This 
all depends on what you are striving for.  There are two different answers 
depending if you want to exit when the low crosses below the MA's of the low 
intraday or on the close of the day it happens.  The first one requires the 
use of a stop or a stop limit order.  The second 
doesn't.

In 
either case, for your entries you also may want to make use of the delay feature 
in the Enter Long/Enter Short window within the tester itself (this is different 
than the screen you mentioned).  For example, if you want to enter on the 
open of the next morning based on a signal of the close of today, you set the 
delay to 1 in the enter long screen (look towards the bottom of the box) and 
then set the strategic delay to "open" with a zero delay (on the screen you 
mentioned).

  [Metastockusers] System tester 
  questionHelloOn MS 8.0 system tester i'm not 
  sure i understand the diference in the stretegic delay under the buy, sell, 
  sell short and buy to cover tabs and the delay opyion found under System 
  Testing Options/ Trade executions tab when you click off Realistic market 
  price. What if i wanted to enter a trade wwhen the close rises above the 5 day 
  mov avg of closes but exit without a delay when the price drops below the 5 
  day mov avg of the low. do i have to take the opening price as the exit. I 
  don't know if this clear but any thoughts would be welcom. 
  ThanksstanTo
