Newbie question for Enter()/Exit()

[#Roberto]

Hello,

I'm porting a strategy from another platform to NinjaScript, I'm not a trading expert but only a software developer.

When backtesting my script I can't figure out why, when I call EnterLong()/EnterShort(), the position is opened on the next bar instead of the current (as happened on the old platform).
What am I missing?

Thanks
Roberto

Welcome to our forums Roberto, this would be expected with NinjaTrader as take the conservative approach to filling orders in backtesting - a signal is generated by your code on bar 0 can only be executed on bar 1 then, as the bar first needs to be fully closed in order to trigger the signal, so this really is the first possible trade location we can conservatively offer.
