Since you have a limit and a stop in the same bar it is impossible for TS
(or any program) to know in which order they occurred after your entry from
OHLC daily data. In short: forget about it. The only thing you know about
the order of the OHLC is that the Open was first and the Close was last. The
order of everything in between is unknown without tick data, so even if your
idea is programmed "right" the data will be useless.
