I got a sprdsheet system
Entry BUY on bar close
Attached stop/target orders via the trade window
trade mgment studies, one for stops, one for targets.

Couple of questions

1) What's the sequence order of instruction execution? in the bar close that causes the trigger, do the attached orders get to be placed first, and then immediately moved by the trade mgment studies? or the trade mgment studies are queried first, so they won't get to move these orders until the close of the next candle?

2) If I use server side OCO and server side bracket orders, the trade mgment studies do modify the live orders sitting with the trading service every time that conditions to move orders are satisfied, correct? (no need to disable these options)

3) when I backtest (bar-based) using 'on bar close' , trade mgent studies do modify stop/target locations as desired. But when uising 'every N seconds', trade mgment studies don't modify them on the back test

Thanks

1. We have to prepare documentation related to this.

We have put this together:
Automated Trading Management: Order of Execution


2. No need to modify those options.

3. We do not see why that would be the case. But we cannot spend time looking into this.
