With a good running bar, that could mean a lot of additional loss. With the 1h timeframe on the GBPJPY, that could easily pass an additional 100 pips.

FYI: Entries are based on the results at the previous bar. While the EA will check for new entries at every tick, it won't actually enter a new trade except at the open of a new bar (with the exception of when it's loaded onto the chart for the first time, or the EA/MT4 is restarted and it isn't in the middle of a trade.
