To everyone, thank you as due to your responses, I have figured it out and now my entry orders are literally at the Open in every case - live trading. Again, many thanks to all and to ZHEKA, get out every once in awhile, there is more to the world than just yourself.

I am looking for a BUY code that will allow me to BUY the next bar at Open and I mean that I want to BUY the very first tick of the bar when the bar opens. "Buy Next Bar at Open/Market" does not work. Need help, many thanks

I am trading the E-MINI S & P 500 on a 5 minute time frame. Plenty of liquidity, minimal spreads and a supposedly fast, quick almost instantaneous fill.

Please note the Log at the bottom of the Chart Window. There is little to no difference from the Order Generated time and the Order Filled time. Next note the placement of the Green Buy Arrow on the next bar - "Buy Next bar Open". What is happening and why the big difference between Order Filled tim...

My code command is "Buy ("BUY") next bar Open" Open could be substituted with Market as they both refer to the first tick of the next bar. The two (2) times that I gave in my initial question are for Buy time generated and for time filled. These times are coming straight form the "Order and Position...

I have a continuing problem in the timing of my BUY trigger coming from my automated strategy (Signal). I have spoken with IB about this and they have referred me back to MC. My BUY line reads "Buy next bar open" and this should mean that at the open of the next bar, at the first tick, the code will...

In real time trading (Demo), the order does not get executed at the opening of the next bar, that is the problem. The strategy works as it should when back tested, but does not work in real time.

The strategy works as it should when I back test it. All Buy orders are executed at the opening of the next bar in back testing, but in real time, the Buy is executed all over the next bar and usually in the upper half of the bar.

Alex, would it make sense to use the data coming from IB instead of IQFeed thereby taking out a third party and therefore the data would come from IB to MC and then the Buy order would go back to IB. Does this make sense? I am looking at everything. Many Thanks for all your help.

Alex, I am located in San Antonio, Texas and I am on a 5 minute chart. Many Thanks

I am using "Buy Next Bar Open" and "Buy Next Bar Market" and I am assuming that this means the first tick at the opening of the next bar, but this is not happening. My "Buy" at the next bar is happening all up and down the next bar, usually from the middle of the bar on up to the "High" of the bar, ...

I am in need of some assistance with my “Buy” Sell” code for my Signal (automated trading strategy). I want my Buy / Sell code to buy the next bar at the opening tick. Everything I try Buys or Sells the next bar, but all up and down the bar and with no consistency. I have checked the “Intra Bar Orde...

I am back testing on one computer using MC and IQFeed, delayed data (10 minutes), and trading on a second computer using MC and Interactive Brokers and IQFeed, real time data. My problem is that the results on the 2 computers is totally different in their outcomes and sometimes in the charts themsel...
