    Issues with SetProfitTarget

    I am running backtest with SetStopLoss and SetProfitTarget.

    The market never reaches the profittarget figure of 41.3
    however the backtest has fill at 41.4 as profit target despite this not being the profit target figure

    Below is copy of the trace orders for assistance
    Something is occurring at 10.58 but i cannot work out what - the orders are being cancelled or closed or expiring - i cannot figure it out why im getting execution with a profit target at 41.40

    Hello,

    Thank you for the question.

    I wanted to check, what chart type is this on and does the strategy use multiple time frames?

    Also have you tried reloading the historical data and then try another back test to see if the same occurs?

    I look forward to being of further assistance .

        Hello,

        Thank you for the reply.

        Does this occur in realtime and market replay as well or just backtest?

        This could potentially be a cache problem which you can test by clearing the cache.

        Please exit the platform and open the folder: Documents\NinjaTrader 7\db\cache and remove the contents of the folder.
        Now start back up and try the test once again. Do you get the same results?

        Also have you tried the Sample strategies to see if they are having similar results?

        I look forward to being of further assistance.
