Thanks for confirming that, Stan ... the process of checking it out for yourself is ALWAYS the best way to go.

Djenfer ... please check your Private Mail inbox. There's much more to the issue than you are aware of. And, for the record, I FULLY AGREE with you that it would be WONDERFUL if OT's Orders Block and Trade Plans block really did WORK that way (MOC at the end of the Setup bar) ... with real money, for real trades, using Integrated Brokerage ... at the HRE ... but they currently don't - and that is "by design" - N's design. Currently, anyway :~/ My desire is to have backtest and portsim info *accurately mirror* what OT *actually does* in real live trading, as opposed to it reporting test-performance that *differs* from real live trading - especially if it might be biasing the results (inadvertently) in a positive manner, by doing so. But, once again, *I do STRONGLY agree* with you that the MOC order should be applied at the end of the Setup bar, as long as that and function consistently works the same *across the board* in all aspects of OT's operation ... so that the entry ACTUALLY is sent TO THE BROKER (by OT's engine) at that time (end of the Setup bar), when a strategy is used for live, real-money trading. This goes for both EOD and RT, btw. The plain, tested, "by design" FACT is that at this point in time, OT does NOT work that way for MOC (or any other order type, for that matter) ... it does not have the ability to send any Entry orders to the broker until the first tick of the Entry bar has appeared.
