Is there a DLL to peek at tomorrows open?

Well I am sure you are w/o such a DLL.

My system is like this. I buy today at the open and sell tomorrow if there is a profit. How might this be coded in Multicharts.

For backtesting you can either store all daily opens once into a text file and access this with your system or use the new "symbol_" keywords in MC 8.

Something that might give a more realistic result would be to judge at the first tick of the new day what to do and then issue an order with intrabar order generation. The result shouldn't be too different to the above approach, but more realistic and also practicable in realtime and backtesting.

Thanks, I think I will try 'intra bar order generation'. I have never tried this before.
