Thank you. I did have another question though. When doing the replay version of backtesting, when I have "signal only on bar close", and "strict Signal only on bar close" for the buy and sell entry columns, it still takes trades at off post times. Also, there are many times when it closes trades randomly. I have the buy and sell exit column in the spreadsheet blank and control the exit with the attached orders windows on the trade window, setting a TP lets say of 3 pips, (0.0003), and a SL of 20 pips (0.0020), and with the setting set to "good till cancelled" which from my understanding should leave the trade open till the TP or SL is hit, but there have been times doing backtesting that there are losses of 7.5 pips, gains of 1 pip, losses of over 60 pips.... And yes, use attached orders is marked on the trade order window. The signals seem to look good on live and slow replay, but the automatic order taking system does not seem to work that well. That is just my experience, I'll try to get some screen shots of this error.
