SetOption("PriceBoundChecking", True) doses't really work like it's
suppose to do. That would be a nice future feature of Amibroker to
have actually.
I like to enter a trade NOT at the open or close of the next trading
day but with a certain price level. I like the backtester to
eliminate those trades that wouldn't go through of course. Any help
would be greatly appreciated..
