Clyde,

    This system has had a couple of good days since you posted it.

    But, everyone should be aware that the "SetExitOnClose" directive does
not close the position at the end of the day.

    Instead, it sets up an order to be executed at the beginning of the next
bar, 9:30 AM on the next trading day.

    This leaves the position exposed to all overnight risk.  TradeStation is
aware of this behavior, but hasn't fixed it yet.

    Caveat Trader.
