I'm going to assume that these are for two seperate tests. Combining the two
sets of conditions into one system would be difficult because one calls for
an exit in the open and the other calls for an exit on the close. You don't
say which version you use so again I'll assume 7.22 or lower.

If you want to back-test a system that may close a trade on either the open
or the close you can achieve this with the 'Trade Equity' tools by using
"price" signals instead of "binary" signals. Probably also achievable with
MS 8 System Tester.

#1
{Enter Long} {Trade Price - CLOSE, zero delay}
DayOfWeek()=1;

{Close Long} {Trade Price - OPEN, zero delay}
DayOfWeek()=3

#2
{Enter Long} {Trade Price - CLOSE, zero delay}
DayOfWeek()=1 AND C>Ref(C,-1);

{Alternate Enter Long}
DayOfWeek()=1 AND C>ValueWhen(1,DayOfWeek()=5,C);

{Close Long} {Trade Price - CLOSE, zero delay}
C<ValueWhen(1,DayOfWeek()=5,O);
