error error!!!! My English is really poor :-)
Anyway I think I'll use close and zero delay.

Thank you Joe.
You confirm what my bad memory suggested.
And if the story is old I've to suppose there is no way to overcome the
error by using some formula adjustement :-(
Maybe in future versions
(mine is 7.20, but I don't know if for 8.01 it's the same)...

>It's
certainly some sort of bad news. I only discovered this after I payed
$1,500 to get APS Automatic Pattern Search (<A
href="">www.tradingpatterns.com), which I
highly recommend by the way. After I back-tested some of the patterns I
found with APS, I imported the code in system tester and I got different
results. In the beginning I thought APS was wrong and I asked about this
difference in the results. They sent me a flowchart of their
back-testing algorithm. Then I sat down with a trader who is profficient
in programming and figured out that Metastock ignores new signals
generated at the same bar a open position is closed and thus APS was
correct. Now I use APS exclusively to generate my pattern signals and
Metastock to display indicators only. I miss no continuation patterns,
that's where I found out the money is.That's an old story r.
