Hello relogical,

Thank you for your post.

If you are going to use SetStopLoss() or if you plan to place an Exit(Long/Short)Limit() or Exit(Long/Short)StopLimit() or Exit(Long/Short)Stop() order, these will sit with the broker and will be filled anytime the price passes through the order price. If these are placed at the time of entry and are working with the broker, these will fill at any time and not just when a bar closes.

If, however, you are wanting to exit an order using a market order with Exit(Long/Short)() based on conditions for an exit, you will need to either use intra-bar granularity or have the script run with CalculateOnBarClose set to false.

To use intra-bar granularity add a secondary series to your script of one tick.
For example:

protected override void Initialize()
{
Add(PeriodType.Tick);
}

Then in your OnBarUpdate code use the primary data series to enter a trade and the secondary data series to exit the trade.

For example:

if (BarsInProgress == 0 // && Conditions to enter trade here)
{
EnterLong(0, 1, "entry")
}

if (BarsInProgress == 1 // && Conditions to exit trade here)
{
ExitLong(0, 1, "exit", "entry");
}


The second method would be to use CalculateOnBarClose as false and use FirstTickOfBar to determine when to enter a trade.

Below is a link to the help guide on FirstTickOfBar.

Also, here is a link to a sample that does something like this.
