Help me with a trading system

Hello,

I'm trying to implement a simple rule to test using EUR/USD hourly data:

Rule Type: Long Entry Rule
Rule Family: Use the value of a line
Rule Descr: Line 1 is above X
Group: Group1
Line 1 Family: MACD
Line 1 Indicator: MACD
Calculated using the: Close
Other Settings: Value to be above 0.00090

Then a Long Entry Value:
Value Type: Long Entry Values
Family: Bar Values
Indicator: Close

This rule executes successfully but no trades registered - yet looking at the output i can see there should have been trades.  There must be something simple that i'm missing here.  I've tried it with other basic indicators (RSI, Moving Average with line above x, etc) and they all show no trades.

 Hello,

I'm a newcomer to Thinking Stuff ATM and I have some questions:

I want to test a system that has to check tick data in current time bar because opens and closes the trade in the same bar and uses live bar OHLC changing values (Ok, open value won't change, but HLC values will probably change) to open and close the trades and orders:

Open long trade: When some other conditions are met an entry order is set at current bar open + 1 pip.
Open short trade: When some other conditions are met an entry order is set at current bar open - 1 pip.

Long trades stop loss is current bar low (at opening trade time) - 1 pip (if a new low is reached in current bar we are out)
Short trades stop loss is current bar high (at opening trade time) + 1 pip (if a new high is reached in current bar we are out)

If current bar closes and the entry order was not filled, the entry order has to be cancelled.
If a trade is open and the bar closes, the trade has to be closed.

Can this system being defined in ATM? or OHLC values of a bar can be only checked after the bar is closed?

Cheers
