Execute on next bar open - right after a bar has closed with confirmation

Hi,

Bars.ClosePrices.Last(1) gives you the close price of last closed bar, not the close price of last bar which is not closed yet.

Bars.ClosePrices.LastValue or Bars.ClosePrices.Last(0) will give you the close price of last bar, which is not closed yet.

Bars.LastBar.Close is equivalent to Bars.ClosePrices.Last(0) / Bars.ClosePrices.LastValue.

RE: cTrader ClosePrices.last

I am using closeprices.last(0) and still have it trading 2 bars late.  Did you ever figure this out?

Hi, I have searched all over and can´t find what I need.

If I use OnBar and Bars.ClosePrices.Last(1) or Bars.LastBar.Close it seems the execution is "On Bar Close" and not "On Bar Open" so as you see on my image the trigger here is the candle close under the line so next candle should execute but it is always the next after that which is too late.

If I use OnTick it triggers as soon as the low goes under the line but it might not close under anyway so that is too soon.

 

How would I go about triggering on the next open after closing under the line?

Thanks

Why not try posting some code so people can see what you're doing and why it's possibly not working?
