BackTesting Problem

I wrote some complex entry strategies (TS2Ki, Win98,
ASCII data, not using GS) and got some weird results
so I wrote some simple strategies to try to isolate
the problem. The following entry (white candle
following a black candle) was run on a chart with 30
minute bars as data1 and daily bars as data2.

if close[1] of data2 < open[1] of data2
and close of data2 > open of data2
then buy this bar at close ; 

I think it should enter on the first bar of data1
following the white candle. It follows the white
candle but I have times of entry of 10 am, 10:30,
etc., all sorts of entry times.

What is up with this TS2Ki? I can get almost anything
to work, and very easily, on a daily chart, as soon as
I try to use 2 timeframes I get these trashy results.
I'm browsing some books on Easy Language but I'm not
coming up with much.
