Is it possible to use the built in parameters to set up a backscan that will enter at the open of the signal bar and close on the close of the same bar? When I set up a backscan to buy on a gap open up > 3% at the open of the 0 bar (impossible, of course, but useful as a reference price to enter immediately after the gap), and to sell at the close of the 0 bar when trade exceeds 0 bars, all of the trades seem to span two bars and not one. What is the tester doing, and can manipulate the rules into doing what I want? Thanks, Richard

It is not possible to Enter and Exit a position on the same Bar in the current version of BackScanner because only one Rule can be Triggered or Executed during each Bar (although it is possible to switch between Long and Short since Entering a Long position will automatically Exit a Short position and Entering a Short position will automatically Exit a Long position).

One way:
Run 1. Buy on open and sell on next open
Run 2. Buy one close and sell on next open
(Run 1 - Run 2) is equal to Buy one open sell on close
