Assistance with exit strategy using intra day data

[Beach01]

I am struggling to achieve what seems like a relatively simple task:

If yesterday's close is above EMA I want to enter long at the open and exit on the close of the same day.

From what I gather I need to use intra day data. I have followed the example below:

But the problem I am getting is that the exit price is from the previous bars close rather than the current bars close.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Hello Beach01,

Using the Strategy Analyzer it is going to process your Strategy with Calculate On Bar Close true, so that mean once all of your conditions are your Strategy is going to enter the market at the open of the next bar.

With your Exit condition looking at a Minute Time-frame most instruments will have an overnight session that is going to be triggering to Exit your Position when you are not wanting it to. You may want to change your time frame between a time period so that you can better close out of your position before the new session starts for example:

if (enteredLong && 
     ToTime(Times[1][0]) <= 160000 && ToTime(Times[1][0]) >= 155500)	

ExitLong();

Let us know if that works better for you.
