No,no. Profit target in my signals is calculated relative to some prior
day's ranges. The problem is that if I say I want 10 points, it says 12.5,
I say 2, it says 2.5 ... Not cool. MMS is screwed up as well.

Isn't that what you would want? If it hits your price, get out. Sounds like
you need a bigger profit target.

: Dearest list --
:
: I've got a signal that has profit targets that can be hit on the same bar
as
: entry... Daily data. For example, I use a market order for entry, and
: Target -
: SetStopPosition;
: SetProfitTarget(100);
:
: TS2000i takes me out at $125, not $100.
:
: I also tried -
: SetStopContract;
: SetProfitTarget(1);
: Takes me out at 1.25 points. Set the Target to 2 and get out at 2.5
points.
: Try .8, get 1.25 ...
:
: I even cobbled together a couple of Omega's generic entry sinals with
: Stoploss and Profit target signals... Still happens. Reinstalled
: Tradestation. Still happens.
:
: Establishing orders on subsequent bars after entry is no problem, but I
need
: to have the backtesting work properly on the bar of entry. Does this
happen
: to anyone else? How can I fix or circumvent?
:
: Thanks in advance,
