If you haven't already, you should search the files of this forum for
an excellent article written by Tom Sprunger in 2003, about the V8
System Tester issues and how to work around them. (Although what he
talks about may or may not be the cause of your problem, it will
answer how to set Margin, etc.)

I have Ver 8.01, but from what I understand, Ver 9 has NOT corrected
any of the problems that Tom addressed.

You did not mention if you use any of the MS Stops (System Editor) in
your System Test. Use of the Trailing Stop will cause the immediate
exit that you mention. It is a confirmed bug, and was NOT fixed in Ver
9. If you select "Points Only Test" under System Testing Options, then
the Trailing Stop will function correctly--otherwise it will not. All
of the other Stops appear to work as they should.
