Limit orders occuring on next bar only

[barbra streisand]

Hello,
whenever i use a EnterLongLimit or EnterShortLimit the order takes place only on the following bar, even if the price was reached on the bar where i placed the order.
Is there a way to get the execution on the same bar as the order is placed?

Hello barbra streisand,
Thanks for your note.

To assist you further may I know, are the orders being submitted at the end of the bar or orders are already submitted but are not getting filled.

Hello Joydeep,
my condition to submit an order takes place as soon as the bar closes, then on the following bar i submit a limit order and wait for the price to be reached but even if the price is reached in the same bar i have to wait for the following one for the order to take place. in short words: my limit order takes place with a one bar delay.
i actually can't get what you mean by "are the orders being submitted at the end of the bar", is there a way to choose exactly the moment when an order can be submitted?
thanks for your help.

Where is this happening? In the Strategy Analyzer, or on a live (real or quasi) trading chart?

hi koganam,
it happens in a live chart with a real (not paper) interactive brokers trading account for prices feed but i place orders against a sim101 account.

Could you post your entry code? Not the logic for entry, just the entry code itself, viz.,

 
if (EntryConditionsMet) //written like that, literally, not with the signal processing logic
{
//actual entry code
}

[barbra streisand]

sure, here's my entry command:

if (EntryConditionsMet) //written like that, literally, not with the signal processing logic
{
EnterShortLimit(0, false, orderQuantityInt, pointOne, "fgbl6efdax short");
}

hope it helps, thanks a lot for your time.

That looks kosher. Could you post an annotated picture of the late entry?
