Hi Sam,
Orders that are placed when the market is closed are filled the next trading day. To fill orders the same day we submit them, we need to subscribe to a data resolution higher than daily and ensure the market is open.
We can ensure the market is open with

self.Securities["SPY"].Price self.data["SPY"].PriceSee that attached backtest for an example. Going forward, I recommend reviewing our documentation and completing some bootcamp lessons. Both resources are a great place to start learning our API.
Best,
Derek Melchin
