Hello, suppose there are 4 renko bars at: Bar 1: 6:00:15 Bar 2: 6:00:30 Bar 3: 6:00:45 Bar 4: 6:01:05 If I use the code: (sc.GetBarHasClosedStatus(cB) == BHCS_BAR_HAS_CLOSED), then the trade happens at Bar 4. But if I don't use this code the trade happens at Bar 2. I would like the trade to enter at Bar 2, but only after Bar has closed. If I omit the Bar Close code, then I get false entry signals as the renko bar can move between up / down till the bar is actually closed. Please help. |

Allowing an order entry only when a bar has closed will mean that when the order is submitted it is going to be filled at the current price and on the current bar assuming it is a market order. There is not a way to change that if you are only evaluating closed bars.

I understand this but, why does a market order take from Bar 1 to 4 to get filled, that it why does it take nearly 50 seconds to get filled? If I don't add the bar closed code, the same order fills within a second.
