Right now I am coding strategies to backtest. With my current sell order, whenever I get the signal to sell I sell at the close. Is there anyway to change it so that the exact moment it receives the signal I sell?
Sell right when you get the signal

@Enoch_Bets No, not using AddOrder() as it only fires after candle close... That is an inherent flaw within the Strategy Backtesting portion of Thinkorswim... You would have to write a Study/Strategy that performs like a Strategy only without using AddOrder()... But then you don't get a report... AddOrder(), FloatingPL, and Reports is the only real difference between Studies and Strategies...
