Entering on a stop: Bug in Tradestation 4.0?

[Christopher McMurry <cmcmurry@xxxxxxx>]

I just discovered a possible bug in TS 4.0 and I wonder if somebody else has
any knowledge/experience of it.

Here's the deal.  Let's say you've got a system applied to a chart and you
are wanting to enter on a stop.

You've set up your stop price with something like:
LEntryPrice = xxx;
where xxx is some value you've calculated.

You have a statement something like
BUY AT LEntryPrice STOP;

This should cause TS to enter a trade (let's assume you are flat) on the
next bar if the LEntryPrice is touched.

I have run into a situation where it does not do this. Here are the
specifics.  Note that all have been verified with print statements.

5 minute chart.
LEntryPrice = 840.35
At 15:20 the BUY AT LEntryPrice STOP  statement is executed.
At 15:25 the bar has an Open = 840.35.  This is also the high of the bar.
This is the first bar at which the LEntryPrice has been reached.
The 15:30 bar is completely below 840.35.
The 15:35 bar opens at 841.00.  This is the low for the bar as well.
TS enters on the 15:35 bar at 841.00.

In the EasyLanguage manual it states, "A Stop order in a buy statement tells
TradeStation to take a long position on the next bar at the *Extra measure*
price level or anything higher."  LEntryPrice *is* the "Extra measure"
price.

IMO, TS should have entered on the 15:25 bar at 840.35.  Does anyone have
any insight as to why this is not happening?  I checked the Omega Bug list
and it is not mentioned.

Thanks,
