Re: Handling of Early Close in Strategy?

Here's what I found

ExitOnClose( false ) ; { pass in true if you want to exit the position at
the
  close of the day, else pass in false. CAUTION: We recommend that you set
this to
  TRUE only for back-testing, if at all; in automated execution on Daily and
  Intraday charts the exit order will NOT be filled at the close of the day;
  instead, the order will be sent into the extended session as a limit
order.
  This exit will not work with real-time Tick charts. }

on an early close day. I know it works on a historical chart, but does it
really exit on time on an early close?


No one has answered that question yet... So I looked into it on the
TradeStationWorld forum.

Here's the result in a nutshell:

As for SetExitOnClose, never use this in real-time trading, it will not
work!
