ProOrder backtest opens trade late

  Okay so I want to open a position on the first candle after the cross. From what you and others have said, this candle is used as a confirmation candle by PRT, but I need a work around for that and make PRT open a position on the open of the confirmation candle.

  In the attached picture, for example, I would like to open a position at 9:00am instead of 9:30am. Since I’m using long timeframes (30 mins) and only executing positions when stocks are up/down high on the day, meaning that they almost never ‘need’ the confirmation candle.

   

  Any idea on how I could do this? Shorter EMA is my go-to at the moment, but it doesn’t really work.

  In NO way and with NO broker and NO platform you can initiate a trade on opening of the confirmation candle. To be a confirmation candle it MUST close! Then you will enter.

  Prt ALWAYS executes strategies when a candle closes, just BEFORE the next one opens (which is the entry candle).

  There’s no workaround, I’m afraid.
