Order opening on Price

  Im trying to get an order to Open as soon as the criteria hits, for example

  C1 = RSI > 30

  My order doesn’t open straight away on this condition, it opens the next 2 bars, so on a 30 min, it can open 1 hr after the condition hit. Is there a way to reduce this Lag?

  This will open immediately as soon as the current candle closes if you BUY at market, so it will enter at the very beginning of the next candle.

  The same when you trade manually, you have a confirmation that an event occurred when a candle closes and you open a trade when the next candle has already been opened. The sole difference is that automatic trading is faster.

  Code is read at Close and orders are launched at next Open. If you want to interact intra bar, you’ll have to use multi timeframe condition, examples:
