[EquisMetaStock Group] Re: EST question re "Trade Execution" Settings

LH,

Realistically you cannot buy the close on an EOD system if you get a 
signal when the market has closed. You must either buy the open or 
some other price on the following day. Setting the delay to zero 
gives you a buy today even though that is not possible. 

Hope this helps,

Preston
