I place an order during a BarUpdate() event but it shows up on the next bar

[tradefaz]

So I have a strategy that places an order during a bar update event, which is set to calculate on close. However the order seems to be showing up on the following bar when I look at the chart.

Is this how it works? Or am is it likely that my calculations are off and the order is in fact being placed on the next bar? I suppose debugging this in VS.NET would make this an easy thing to determine, are there any good guides on how to debug NinjaScripts?

Thanks

That is how it works. When you calculate at the bar close there is no available ticks to have an order execute on that bar anymore. It is closed. The next available time for an order is the next bar's open.

Ok thanks. Just a suggestion, it might make sense to indicate the order in between the bars, or make this an option. This was driving me nuts I thought my code logic was wrong.

Thanks for the suggestion. We will put it up for future considerations.
