Test "open tomorrow", like:
If Open Tomorrow < EntryPrice Then Sell next bar at EntryPrice limit;
For some (te me) unknow reason TS does not allow you to mix "market" orders
with orders that somehow test "open tomorrow".
In that case I always setup a second signal and use "IncludeSignal" to merge
it back in.
Good luck
Robert
ps. I understand TS6 will shortly have a feature to automatically transform
limit orders into market orders after XXX timeout (with limit orders you
never know if you got a fill for all the shares). I wonder if they charge
you commission for "2 orders" ?
