Seems to ... you can verify by putting the following into Script: Entry Orders:

Code: Select all

IF instrument.symbol = "YourSymbol" THEN
 PRINT "tradeDayOpen", instrument.tradeDayOpen, "today's open", instrument.open
ENDIF
Put a de-bugging break on the print statement. You should see tomorrow's open being returned along with today's open. I believe the idea is that tradeDayOpen allows you to "peek" into the future so you don;t have to re-set the stop price after the open.
