On Close

[atrader101]

How do I code a strategy where the entry signal is on the bar close but the exit (stop or limit) is at market (i.e. when the market condition is met)?

Thanks

Hello,

Do you mean entry is bar close conditional, but the exit is real-time conditional? If so, set CalculateOnBarClose to false in the initialization code block and use FirstTickOfBar in the entry conditions so that it is only checked once a bar has just closed. This link may help:
