You have the wrong model of how TradeStation works.
Conceptually, your code runs after the close of a bar and before the
start of the next bar. (There is a special case if you refer to the
"Open of next bar")
On daily data, for example, your code would run at night after the
market closes but before it opens the next day. You code must
generate orders for the next day.
So you will have to figure out how to generate orders for the next
bar using the data on the bar that just ended.
