Why do sometimes an order takes 2 bars to execute while most other times it only took one bar?

Hello,

I am having trouble while backtesting, sometimes an order is pending and next() is skipped causing some signal to be missed. Most of the times the orders executed on the next bar once signal is triggered before next() is called. Please advise.

Please advise.

Advice:

• Data
• Code

Which allows incredible things like:

• See what Order execution type is in place
• Why an order may have (not) triggered
• And many more ...
