Mgem,

without knowing your code and settings for the test it is hard to tell what might be going on. When is the order issued exactly?

What are the settings you are using for the Look-Inside-Bar Backtesting? If you do not use this together with intrabar order generation Tradestation will only compute the code
four times per bar during a backtest (once with the Open, High, Low, and Close). This could lead to the behavior you are seeing.

Regards,

ABCTG
