Re: [EquisMetaStock Group] HELP - How to Sell Order and Sell Short Order on the same day for System Tester

Folks the MS System Tester CAN buy and sell on the same bar.
In versions prior to v8 this was pretty easy.  In versions 8 and above it is
difficult to set up but can be done.

Please go to the files section and look at the file named.
Sprunger Guide to MS ver8.doc

It will tell you how to do it and the limitations on doing it.
