Post From: Order delay

Hello, I have an update on the issue and I figured out what's going on, but need a little guidance.

So basically what happens is that the strategy does not recognize the bar close until the first tick of the new bar. And unless the market is being traded heavily, the first tick often happens many seconds after the close of the just-completed bar. (Bar is set to M10)

The issue for me is, I want to submit a market order on bar close, but the bar close is not recognized until the first tick of the new bar. So essentially my market order isn't sent or executed until somebody else's order in the new bar is filled.

I thought maybe if I changed my intraday storage settings to 1 second and the advanced chart settings to Show Columns with No data it might handle the issue, but in watching the 1 second chart, I see that columns with no data are only updated after a new column WITH data occurs. So I think it will have the exact same issue...waiting for someone else to execute an order in the new bar, and only then recognizing the bar close and issuing my order.

Any help?
