Order Entry Placement (basic understanding)

[phineas]

I am missing a basic concept regarding automating order entry, from within the OnBarUpdate Method. I've attached a basic order entry strategy below, that I expected to enter the market Long, at each "real time" bar whose high exceded the previous bars low.
The print message is displayed but no order(s) were placed. I am missing a basic concept, any help is appreciated.


protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{ if ( High[0]>Low[1])
{
Print("Should enter long");
Print(Time[0].ToString());
EnterLong();
}

}

Ray,
That was the section I needed to read. Helped me answer my follow-up question as well.
