I believe that problem has been with Omega products from their beginning
I don't think the bouncing ticks has anything to do with that.
Bouncing ticks is intended for use on EOD data and is a poor
substitute compared to using intraday data.
To disable the bouncing ticks use zero.

JB> : Hello List,
JB> :
JB> : I could use your help on a problem that I have been
JB> : having with a system that enters a position on a buy
JB> : stop or a sell stop order. The problem is when the
JB> : system triggers a buy stop order at the opening of a
JB> : bar and then hits the stop loss point on the same bar.
JB> : Tradestation "sometimes" recognises the stop loss and
JB> : other times it doesn't. So this is a big problem
JB> : because the system might show a winner when in real
JB> : time trading the trade would of been a loser. The
JB> : problem relates to how the price moved inside that
JB> : bar. I have looked into this and I found a good
JB> : explanation in the help guide under "bouncing tick"
JB> : and " Calculating orders on historical data". There is
JB> : a percentage that can be changed under "view, chart
JB> : options, strategy tab, and percentage increment for
JB> : bouncing tick". The default is set to 10% which causes
JB> : the problem. I tried fooling around with this and
JB> : increased it to 100% and I believe it solved my
JB> : problem. I went over some of the previous trades that
JB> : mistakenly showed winners before with the default 10%
JB> : setting and when I changed to 100% , the trade showed
JB> : correctly as a stop loss on that same entry bar. My
JB> : question to you guys is this: Will it hurt anything to
JB> : keep my setting to 100%? This setting seemed to help
JB> : my situation on this system , but I am just wondering
JB> : if this change will impact any other type of system
JB> : which I use? I am always afraid of changing a default
JB> : setting. Thanks for your help.
JB> : Sincerely,
JB> : Todd
