TradeStation Strategy Code Help

I'm running a TradeStation strategy to trade the S&P emini.
I use SetProfitTarget and SetStopLoss for my orders.

As soon as the profit target is reached, lets say 1 point, the strategy shows Profit Target on the screen at that point. But in real life the price needs to reach 1 tick higher to actually get me out with the profit target.

My question is if the price only gets to the profit target amount and not 1 tick higher to actually get me out, will my strategy know I'm still in, even though it's not, and set my Stop if it happens to reverse on me? Or will my strategy think I'm out and fail to set that stop?

I was running on auto all month and this is only occuring to me now but this scenario hasn't actually happened for me to know for sure.

Any help would be appreciated.
