Yes. My system buys/sells at open since I still have a day job. The results have been very close to those of backtest. I think it contribute to two factors: I use IB which in most cases can get you the exact open prices; my system limits the shares to buy to 1% of 50 period EMA of volume.

Hi intermilan04, This is, of course, not a one-size-fits-all situation. It is one of the reasons a particular system designed to buy or sell *anywhere* will produce somewhat varied results with varied instruments. Liquidity varies from symbol to symbol and market to market. Make a note of that.
