Thank you, Roy.
Applying a Strategic delay of 1 day to the entry solved the problem.
Again, you have shown that you understand the twists and turns of
Metastock better than anyone that I know.
I was not paying attention to the "Strategic Delay" option in the
EST.
I prefer to make those types of delays in the actual system code.
It did not occur to me that the option could be used to overcome a
quirk of the "ENHANCED" System Tester.

then apply a Strategic delay of 1 day to the entry. This forces the
EST to "consider" the buy one bar before the sell, but the net effect
is that execution is on the same bar. You won't get a result for the
last bar of data but that's hardly a major problem.
