Setting Stop and Limit orders with Calculate.OnPriceChange vs Calculate.OnBarClose

[GregX999]

Hello,
I have a strategy that, when entering a position, should also place stop and limit orders. The stop and limit orders are being placed, but not until the current bar finishes and the next one starts.

I have `Calculate = Calculate.OnPriceChange;` in my `OnStateChange()` method, so I expect that the stop and limit orders should be placed as soon as the price changes (in the current bar).
(I also see "OnPriceChange" selected in the Strategy popup window if I view that.)

I'm using "separate logic" to place the initial order (and set a flag), and then on subsequent `OnBarUpdate()` calls, I check to see if the flag is set, and if so, use `ExitLongStopMarket()`, `ExitShortStopMarket()`, `ExitLongLimit()` and `ExitShortLimit()` methods to set the closing orders.

So, I'm confused as to why the stop/limit orders aren't being set on the very next bar update after the order is placed.
Any hints to point me in the right direction?
Thanks!

Hello GregX999,

If you would like the orders submitted immediately when the entry fills, submit these from OnExecutionUpdate().

Below is a link to an example (ProfitChaseStopTrailExitOrdersExample).

Ah! That did the trick! Thanks!

(I really wish Playback mode worked the same as Live/Simulation mode. It's so annoying to get everything working perfectly in Playback and then having bugs/errors when trying to switch to Simulation. I had others besides this one, but was able to find the answers. This was the only one I needed to ask about here.)
