Error on trade log

[guillembm]

Hello,

I'm on unmanaged and to enter a long position I use:

SubmitOrder(0, OrderAction.Buy, OrderType.Limit, EnterQuantity, EnterPrice, 0, "", "");

I'm checking the trade log on strategy performance and in some trades the entry name sometimes is displayed as buy to cover instead of sumply buy.

When I right click on the strategy and I select Strategy Performance the data of the trade is correct.

Is this a bug?

Hello,

What is the strategy or account position directly before this BuyToCover is used? Are you flat before the BuyToCover is placed?

Are these live or simulation trades? If live, who is your broker?

I just discovered what is the problem and I think this should be considered a bug.

When I display the trades of the strategy performance right clicking over the strategy on the Strategies tab it displays correctly the trades for all the historical of this strategy.

The problem comes when I display the trades from the Account Performance tab for a period shorter than the whole period of activity. If the date cuts between the enter and the exit of a position then the data appears wrong. If I display the whole period the data is correct.
