Spreadsheet trading -BAR-BASED BACKTEST ENTRY/EXIT ISSUE

I am testing a strategy using spreadsheet where long only entries are made in the K column and I use no L column formula for exit. I want to use attached orders to get out with a stop and loss. I have set rows j80/81 to 10 points ES. When I play back the the chart, all trades exit intrabar(using 8 tick range bars) and I cannot figure out why....I have settings to signal on close.

The attached orders do not follow the rule of "Signal on Close". These orders are sent to the exchange when the primary order is filled, so you can not control them in terms of filling at a certain time.

The only way you could do this, would be to use the L (Exit) column. Then the signal will occur on the close in order to exit the position.
For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:
