Add the TICK timeseries to your strategy and you can backtest intrabar on tick interval.

There is a lot of info to be found, just search the Ninjtrader forum.
NT backtesting is not realistic though, despite adding the tick timeframe. It's better to perform market replays.
Good luck.

If you add the tick timeframe, you can, at BarsInProgress == 1 in the OnBarUpdate(), add the logic you want. There is a property FirstTickOfBar that you can use for doing whatever you want at the open of a new bar.
