  Hi,

  I am just wondering if it is possible to enter of the close of a bar once an objective/target has been hit. Or do I have to wait for the open of the next bar?

   

  Thanks!

  Each line of a ProOrder script is run at each new bar. So for example, it is possible to make an exit  a previous sell order and enter a new buy order in the same candlestick.

  Hi Nicholas.

  I just want to clarify what I meant. Is there a way to program a back test or a automated trading program, so that a position is entered a few seconds before a close of the current bar. Or do i have to wait for the bar to close and enter on the open of the next bar?

   

  Thanks

  Hi! You can buy or sell in the same candle if you have STOP or LIMIT orders waiting to be executed.

  Cheers.

  Hi Adolfo,

  Thanks for your reply 🙂

  I was wondering if you can enter just before the close of the bar or whether you have to wait for the open of the next bar?

   

  Thanks!
