	At historic calculation, the Backtesting Engine calculates every bar of the chart in order, it opens, emulates real-time within the bar and closes the bar. At the bar close the Backtesting Engine calculates all the strategy signals. The strategy calculation results in the collection of orders generated by the signals during the next calculation. MarketThisBar orders are also executed here at the bar close.
