If you pause testing and place a buy stop or sell stop order and then move to the next bar, if executed on the open of this bar, the order open price should be the open price of the bar. Instead you get the price that you placed the buy stop or sell stop order at. This is completely wrong!
You only get the order price if you place limit orders not stop orders. This lack of slippage completely invalidates testing of many strategies. Please fix this fundamental error ASAP.
