ProBackTest BUY ORDER ON CURRENT BAR NOT NEXT BAR?

  Is there a way for ProBackTest to use the SAME bar and the ACTUAL order price of the buy order on a 1 minute timeframe?

  Some 1 minute bars are over 100 pips long such as the GBP/USD 13:30GMT 1 minute bar on Tuesday 13th December 2022 which went through R1 and R2 so when trying to buy AT R1, waiting until the next bar to open well above R2 is too late and misses the trade?

  Really appreciate any advice about this.

  Were you using a pending order, for example …

  Buy at R1 Stop

  1	Buy at R1 Stop

  Alternatively you would need to  use a timeframe lower than 1 minute, e.g. 15 seconds or 5 seconds etc

  Place pending orders at the desired price, use STOP order (if you are below the desired opening price which is the case here).
