That is not the correct behavior as the Set statements should be active in the current bar. They are designed to operate INTRABAR and don't require [IntraBarOrderGeneration] to be on. It is independent of that condition.
The only thing I can think of is that the Set statement is not being called after the close of the last bar. It must be called in order to be active.

Please contact MC tech support with this problem and be ready to demonstrate this problem.

I'm using this on tradestation, not MC. But let me look at what you showed said first.

Here is all the code that run the orders if conditions are met.

 
Code
if (atrOk = 1) and (curDirection = -1) and (ocatrOk = 1) and (ocsizeOk = 1) and (olpOk = 1) and (gWickOk = 1) and (bWickOk = 1) and (Marketposition = 0) then

	Begin
		tgamt = targetProfit;
		slamt = sl;
		if (ocatr >= highRatio) Then
			hiRatio = 1;
		Buy this bar at close;
		tmpPrice = close;	
	End;	
		
	
if (atrOk = 1) and (curDirection = 1) and (ocatrOk = 1) and (ocsizeOk = 1) and (olpOk = 1) and (gWickOk = 1) and (bWickOk = 1) and (Marketposition = 0) then
	Begin
		tgamt = targetProfit;
		slamt = sl;
		if (ocatr >= highRatio) Then
			hiRatio = 1;
		Sellshort this bar at close;
		tmpPrice = close;
	End;


if (hiRatio = 1) Then
	maxBars = timeExitHi Else
	maxBars = timeExit;
if MarketPosition <> 0 and BarsSinceEntry >= maxBars then begin

	
	if MarketPosition = 1 then Sell All Contracts Next Bar At Market;
	if MarketPosition = -1 then Buytocover All Contracts Next Bar At Market;

end;

trailPoints = 0.05;

if MarketPosition = 1 Then
	Begin
		trailValue = Highest(High, BarsSinceEntry);
		trailExit = trailValue - trailPoints;
		trailTrigger = tmpPrice + (tgamt*0.001);
		if	close >= (trailTrigger)   Then
			SetProfitTarget(trailExit) Else
			SetProfitTarget(tgamt);	
	End;
	
if MarketPosition = -1 Then
	Begin
		trailValue = Lowest(Low, BarsSinceEntry);
		trailExit = trailValue + trailPoints;
		trailTrigger = tmpPrice - (tgamt*0.001);		
		if	close <= (trailTrigger)   Then
			SetProfitTarget(trailExit) Else
			SetProfitTarget(tgamt);		
	End;
