ExitOnCloseSeconds when Backtesting

[wuilengh]

I've been backtesting a strategy and have set the following in Initialize():

ExitOnClose = true;
ExitOnCloseSeconds = 300;

However, what seems to happen is that regardless of whether ExitOnCloseSeconds is set to 30 or 300, the strategy only closes the position on the last bar. I'm aware that this might be the case if I were to use 5 minute bars in my backtest, but I'm currently using 1 minute bars.

Any ideas?
