Hey bigdog, do you mean adjusting limit orders on the entry side or the exit side? or maybe both.
I was thinking about a entry limit order approach that would escalate into a market order after a certain number of ticks/time elapsed based on price action, but haven't had time to do anything with it yet. Is that the sort of thing you're talking about?

Also you can run a second instance of NT inside a virtual machine without needing a second computer (assuming your main computer isn't really outdated). I do all my development and testing in VMs while my live strategies run on the host OS, it makes strategy development *much* more pleasant =)
The logic of COBC=true when using a Close[0] does my head in. Close[0] with COBC=true would be Close[1], right?
I'm playing with some last bar [1] && bar[0] COBC=false code now having seen my strat miss things I wanted it to trade. Probably the most frustrating thing I've been fighting is knowing why or why not my strat code takes a trade.
FWIW I backtest using market replay data 1x speed after hours and forward test on live sim data during the hours I trade. Slow and painful but more accurate.
no. [0] means the last "bar" whether the bar is 1 tick in length (cobc false) or xx length (cobc true, based on chart size). for instance if cobc is false then [0] always represents the last tick unless you specifically state FirstTickOfBar.
turn TraceOrders = true in Initialize() and open output window if you want to see more debug info to figure out what is going on. throw in a few Print(Time[0] + "your message"); statements to see where things are firing in your script.
