Hey guys!
How can I get it to buy right when the price passes the second bar high? Instead of buying the day after the third bar? I want it to buy on the third bar day if the price goes past the second bar high and as soon as it does.
Does anyone have a solution for this?!
Thank you!

Hi Jesse and Matt
The data you were subscribing was on daily resolution, so you receive the previous day's data at 00:00 of the next day. Any MarketOrder would be submitted as MarketOnOpenOrder, using the Open price of the next bar to fill the order as the market was closed at 00:00. The filled time would be at 00:00 of the next day.
This would make the filling behavior of the backtest less realistic and increase slippages if deployed live, since the live algorithm would fill the order at market opening hours. You could suffer losses if the stock is illiquid and the bid-ask spread is wide. A denser resolution could reduce these effects.
