Phantom Strategy entrys

[Trader.Jon]

I ran a strategy in the Strategy Analyzer hours ago, and testting was completed and the SA shut down. There are no entrys showing in the tabs of the control centre, and I have only 1 chart open with no strategy running or shown in the active widow when I rt-clk on the chart.

Occasionally I re-apply the indicator I am testing in the chart && I am seeing strategy output printed

Jon, can you please check if you would for example run a strategy not visualized on the chart from the strategies tab?

[Trader.Jon]

Bertrand,

Not clear on your request. There are no strategies listed in that tab when the event happened.

If there were no working strategies, none from the chart nor tab, then you might be seeing prints coming through from an Initialize() method, which would be called across all scripts. Could that be the case?

No, not the case, as I was exclusively working with indicators, and there was nothing in any Intialize() that would have a remotely possible

" internal SetStopTarget() method"

I have done a lot more debugging today on same machine , the only machine that had a strategy with "Long 1a" (I dont use that name format in my own developed strategys so I knew there was only one possible source of the name) and nothing like that in the prints. This is still un nerving to think that even if a strategy is no longer on a chart or on a strategy tab that it can be acting enough to see activity on a printout.

I realize any software is only as good as the tools available to build it with. IMNSHO I wonder if development needs to consider something more robust, or consider a helper application. .NET maybe a tool in common useage but maybe its not robust enough for trading.

Respectfully,
Jon

Hi Jon, could it be that you had those running in another workspace that would currently not in view? The output window would be global and show prints / trace order info across workspaces.
