Ticks and minutes

Let's say I have collected data in tick format and display bars in 
minutes, say 1 min or 5 mins.

If I write a system to buy and sell at specific prices on the next bar, 
will TradeStation (2000i) take into account the price progression 
according to the ticks when calculating the orders?

I seem to recall that TS does some jiggery-pokery and assumes that 
prices closest to the open will be transacted first and those closer to 
the close transacted second. But if you actually have tick data, will 
the trades be executed in the correct order?
