When writing the system test, on the Buy Order tab (and the Sell 
Short Order Tab if the system is to include short trades), set 
the "Strategic Delay (Bars)" to 1 day.  Then click the Stops tab.  
Mark the Inactivity Minimum Change stop for both longs and shorts.  
Select points for the method.  Set the minimum change to 999 and the 
periods to 0.  Finally, when starting the simulation, click 
the "More" button on the System Testing Options page.  Click the 
Trade Execution tab and uncheck Realistic Market Prices.  Set the Buy 
Price and the Sell Short Price to Open.  Set the Sell Price and the 
Buy to Cover Price to close.  Make sure the Delay Order Opening to 0 
and click Okay.  When you run the test, the system will enter a trade 
and then be able to exit it on the same bar.
