The conditions to enter the trade are contingent on the current bar closing before any position is entered, for that reason I have used the ”on bar close” calculation.
The problem I have is the stop and target orders do not enter until another complete bar has printed, obviously I can’t have this as the price can run down through my stop and then it doesn’t get entered. I seem to have a choice of either calculating “on tick” or “price change”, but then I enter many trades that I wouldn’t want to enter (mid bar conditions meet the strategy conditions, the the full bar doesn't). Can I have the entry wait for the bar close and then subsequent bars calculate in real time?
What am I missing that would have the entry wait for a bar to close but the stops and target will enter at the same time?
