You could specify exact entries for known data using a combination of open
next bar and if then else.  For example:

Value1 = 0 ; { replace zero with your desired value }

if Open next bar < Value1 then
  buy next bar at Value1 stop
else
  buy next bar at Value1 limit ;

Subject: Stipulating exact entry price inTS2000i


Is it possible in a strategy to stipulate an exact entry price for the next
bar? In other words to enter at a specified price or not at all.

What I want to do is backtest different exit strategies but using actual
known price fills as the entries. Unfortunately I can't find a way to input
these actual fills correctly.

As I know all the dates, times and fill prices I would *like* to write
something like:

If date= XXXXXXX and time = YYYY then buy ZZZZ limit;
except replacing limit with 'exactly', if you see what I mean.

I can't see a way of doing it. Any suggestions or alternative approaches
appreciated.

Jim
