NJ8 Strategy - Entry = next "Bar Close"

[rexca]

Is it possible to set the Strategy entry to the next "Bar Close" vs. the next "Bar Open"?

Hello rexca,

Thanks for your post.

If your strategy is set to run in the mode of Calculate.OnBarClose which means that the strategy code executes once at the end of each bar and will perform calculations on completed bars. If your strategy determines to enter an order, the order would be placed on the next bar. In this mode, your strategy will operate the same historically as it does when connected to real-time (or replay) data.

Using the calculate mode of Calculate.OnPriceChange, or Calculate.OnEachTick, will allow the strategy to be executed intrabar with greater frequency which means your code will be executed on each tick or each change in price. Depending on the bar size and market volatility this can be a significant number of times per bar. You would be working with data that could change and your strategy conditions could change from one tick to the next. Entry orders would be executed intrabar instead of waiting until the next bar.
