Trailing stops are invalid

>From your website I got the following:

"2.1.22 % Risk Trailing Stops (Priority 2)

There is no warning from Omega that historical back-testing is completely
invalid and overstated when using the built-in % risk trailing stops. These
stops will only work in real-time. On historical tests they are completely
misleading.

A similar situation exists when using a profit target and a money management
stop, although this is only of a concern when both are touched within the
same bar.

No attempt has been made to make these stops work adequately in testing
mode."

Is this for TS4 and 2ki or just TS4? What is actually wrong with the Omega
functions?
