Mando, WTF. Just got to say that. WTF. We can talk about two aspects to this:
If you'd like to discuss what's wrong with it, please point out where I went wrong. Since I know you can't, this point doesn't punch holes through anything as it pertains to my coding of the script
You fucked up not once, but three times based on the following posts.

No, I'm buying at market on the open on next tick, but I'm approximating it with 0.01 ticks exactly on the .SPX and not actually on the ES. In fact, I believe this is benefitting the backtest but gets to the point pretty quickly.

Shit! I did something wrong, when I was looking at ScottD's versions he stated that the volume of 1 bar ago need to be above 20000 contracts. In WL, this is actually on the current bar, instead of the bar-1 that I used. Goddamnit. Anyway, it's actually one of the most profitable backtests I've ever seen. The other issue I did not understand was the timing. I messed up the time. It allowed a trade to buy at 4 pm, which is a nono. I found that by making the times for purchase or short before 1545, increased results SUBSTANTIALLY!

I have no idea how he got 20,000.
Not only that, but you're mixiing and matching volume and data (SPX data, OEX volume) which is a huge no-no.
Saying this system is profitable off-the-cuff like this is completely irresponsible (it's like a scientist saying a drug is useable by humans when they have barely begun testing it on primates).
It's obvious that you design systems for other people to put their money at risk ... LOL.
Like I said before, I don't think you know what you're doing. I'm sure you mean well and there aren't any ulterior motives here, but you don't know what your doing and this ship is going to sink as soon as it is put out to sea.
