That's not what VK is talking about.

To put it very simple, VK is refering to the ability of WLD to do
something like this:

If tomorrows open > today's close then buy on today's close

I might have been the one pointing them out that i don't think
it's a good idea that WLD has this capability by default. Reason
for that is that even very experienced WLD coders sometimes
make mistakes with it ! You can imagine what system results
will be if you do it by accident. Since most coders are not 
experienced they make mistakes like that easily. I think
software should, atleast by default, prefent from it (like TS does).

Ofcourse,  on the other hand, we all love people comming into
the markets with systems that peek into the future knowing that
those will be the guy's delivering us our money :-)
