With bar based back testing, the condition will be evaluted during open of next bar using OHLC price even with BHCS_BAR_HAS_CLOSED in my condition

Yes this is the case but the order will be filled at the opening price of that new bar.


The code example you gave in post #5 we think is a reasonable way to accomplish what you want. In that case, you would not use BHCS_BAR_HAS_CLOSED.

This is what we would recommend:
if (sc.LastTradePrice==Close[sc.Index])
Result = sc.BuyEntry(NewOrder);

But you should do the comparison using a formatted evaluate:
sc.FormattedEvaluate()
