I ran into some problems recently, as follows:
I am running NT 6.5.1000.1, Simulation only, connected to Gain demo. I have installed the .NET 2.0 SDK as the My Documents folder is on a network drive and changed the security to Full Permissions.
I set up a simple 1 Target ATM (Stop:5, Profit 100, Rev at stop) with a custom stop strategy (3 step: Stop 7, Freq 1, Profit 10; 15, 2, 20; 21, 4, 50) with a profit trigger of 4+1.
I placed an order for 5 $EURUSD and let it run overnight. It appears to have run fine up until about 7:30 AM EST this morning, when it started generating these messages.
Failed to execute DB job 'StrategyUpdateJob' ... etc
There were probably 50-150 of these error messages (by the way, it's pretty annoying to have to go kill them all, perhaps you could code it to check if the error has already been displayed and dismissed before displaying another one, or have a "Don't display this message again" kind of thing and log it with a smaller icon for a warning...)
In addition, I received the following messages, although I cannot tell at what time:
Sell stop or sell stop limit orders can't be placed above the market.
I suspect the second error occurred first and then the first error went wild.
As a result of no stop being placed, I came in this morning to see a big, big out of control loss. It appears to me that this occurred because there was a very large movement in the market around that time.
What can be done to ensure a stop order is placed? I would hope that NT could keep trying until one was placed instead of just crash and leave me to get wiped out.
