Post From: BackTest an AutoTrade System -- Is BaseData Modified per the 4 Samplings per Bar??

Sorry for my elementary question. I am already using sc.GetBarHasClosedStatus() == BHCS_BAR_HAS_CLOSED in my condition so to make sure the logic is only called once per bar upon bar close. Are you saying then OHL prices will not be used to evaluate the condition?
During a bar based back test, the condition would be evaluated during the open of the next bar.

I am a bit confused as I seem to be getting different results when compared to full replays and all conditions have been surrounded by BHCS_BAR_HAS_CLOSED. What are the possible causes that comes to mind?
So you are comparing a bar based back test to a replay back test?
