After programming my indicators and rules and testing with backscanner, I stumble on the limitation that backscanner cannot exit at my stop loss % but must instead exit on the OHLC of the bar.  I have platinum, can't backscanner look at the minute data to see when my stop loss would trigger and exit?

I'm basically doing a strategy where I enter on the open and exit on the close and I have both profit target and stop loss.  I'm thinking backscanner cannot handle this.  if this is correct, will Stockfinder 5.0 be able to handle it?

Thanks
