In my strategy I use the following buy signal:

BuyAtLimit(bar , Close[bar], "BuySignal");

This always buys on the next days bar at the open price. Is there a way to get this to buy at the closing price of the current day?

To buy at the closing price, you could simply use BuyAtClose.

Can you post an example?

Of course it will buy at the open if Close > Open, but it's not doing it on the next bar; you're doing it on this bar.

BuyAtLimit(bar , Close[bar], "BuySignal"); is a mistake.
You must code it as BuyAtLimit(bar + 1, Close[bar], "BuySignal"); otherwise it's peeking.
