Why does trade not open at open of the bar?

Hi,

 

I have a very simple code which should open a trade when conditions are met ONLY at the open of a bar and close at the same bar.

 

It closes indeed at the close, however it opens not at the open but at a price I cannot trace. Please help!

 

Regards,

If (IsBarOpen is True) && (((Close[2] > Close [1]) and ( Market Position() is Flat) And (IsBarOpen is True))))

 

THEN

 

Buy 0.1 Lots at market

 Magicnumber= 1000;

Close position after 1 bars

 

End If;

 

 

it should open the trade at bar open. I tested it in MT4 and it works, I cannot imagine what could be wrong in your case.

 

Are you trading it on MT4? When are the trades opened, does it take long from open since they are opened?
