In brief, you can not use the "Open Next Bar" logic with any success
UNLESS you are connected to a live data feed.
The reason, as explained in my EasyLanguage workshops and book ("Ask
Mr. EasyLanguage", Traders Press), is that Omega's new software (unlike
System Writer Plus circa 1984) will wait for the first tick of the next bar
before evaluating the EZL code.
When you are downloading data at the end of the day, this "first tick"
rule rather nullifies any advantage of referencing the opening price...
