In a bar-based back test, i am checking: sc.GetBarHasClosedStatus() == BHCS_BAR_HAS_CLOSED before creating and sending a market order. however, the market order does not execute until the close of the bar (or open of next one, cant tell which yet). how can i get the open of the current bar (or near it) to be the execution price for the market order as it would be in real-time ? |

You can check my earlier post - it should help in this case as well. ACSIL - How to run part of code only once per bar | Post: 57332 |

It would make sense to send the order when a new bar is added to the chart if the conditions are met. This code example will help: SCSFExport scsf_DetectingNewBarsAdded(SCStudyInterfaceRef sc)
{ if (sc.SetDefaults) { // Set the configuration and defaults sc.GraphName = "Detecting New Bars Added"; sc.AutoLoop = 1; sc.FreeDLL = 0; return; } // Do data processing int& PriorArraySize = sc.GetPersistentInt(1); //This is not a full recalculation of the study if (!sc.IsFullRecalculation) { // If there are new bars added if (PriorArraySize < sc.ArraySize) { // put processing here that is required for when new bars are added to the chart } } PriorArraySize = sc.ArraySize; } Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
