Post From: backtest using trade management by study and Bars since entry

The Trade Management by Study study does work during a bar-based practice. To verify this, when you run the bar based back test, use a smaller Bar Processing Increment like 10 to see updates more often and notice that the stop order is moving.

Also here is the documentation for that study:
Attached Orders: Study Controlled Targets and Stops

Also, I have notice that sc.GetBarsSinceLastTradeOrderEntry() & sc.GetBarHasClosedStatus() do not always play nice in the backtests. I was getting trades and then it would suddenly stop. Once I removed, sc.GetBarHasClosedStatus() the study functioned fine.
There is no way we can possibly answer this. This is something that you need to debug. Refer to:
Automated Trading Management: Troubleshooting Automated Trading System Behavior

Also the source code for that function can be found within SierraChart.h file. You can see exactly what it does. It does function correctly as designed.
