I think there was some missing information on that FAQ and support is
aware. Here is the updated version I got from support:
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.
You will also need to enter a delay into the formula. This can be
done using the Reference function. For example (replacing "Condition"
with your Buy and/or Sell Short formula);
Ref( Condition,1)
Select the Sell Order (and Buy to Cover Order, if including Short
trades) and enter the number 1 as the formula (this automatically
triggers a true condition). 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.
