// basically the old way what happeneed is that orders werent cancelled and they would overlap and that is why sometimes
//  it would enter and exit same bar. It is not always the accurate inputted stop price. There might be a workaround with
//  calling strategy order cancellations, but having an indicator follow the same backtesting "engine" might be far fetched. What I did is coded it like the other
//  work we have done. All take profits/stops should occur at the price they are assigned to UNLESS it is the bar following entry
//  then it will exit at that bars open.

// so it really comes down to how you want to calculate with tradingviews backtest engine. the way it is programmed now
// is like the most recent
