What is my malfunction

[muhstonks]

Fairly new to ninjatrader.

I've tinkered well enough with the strategy builder, but im having an extremely simple issue.

Basically, on a 5 min chart, when the CURRENT price equals or crosses the last bars HIGH, enter. It does so, but only on the NEXT bar. How do I have it enter on the current bar?

Calculation is set to: Each Tick

According to my research on the forum, "Close" is equivalent to the current price. Here is the condition I have:

Default input[0] >= High[1]

When looking at the historical trades on the chart, everything is entered on the bar AFTER Default input[0] >= High[1].

Hello muhstonks,

Thank you for your post.

Historical data only uses the OHLC of the data series that the order is submitted to simulate the order fill, and there is no actual intra bar movement with processing the order fill.

Historical processing will follow Calculate.OnBarClose processing unless Tick Replay is used. (Note: Tick Replay allows for intrabar actions, but is not intended for intrabar order fills.)

Adding intra-bar granularity can help get more accurate order fills.

Please see this forum post which goes over discrepancies in real-time vs. backtest, and how to implement intra-bar granularity:

Please let me know if I can assist further.
