    Live Trading vs Simulation: Different Results

    I've been trying to pindown an issue. Here's the code. It's very simple.

    protected override void OnBarUpdate()
    {
    // Exit Short Trade
    if (BarsSinceEntry() > 5)
    {
    ExitShort(Position.Quantity)
    }
    // Enter Short Trade
    ...
    }

    During live trading, most of the time, the strategy will successfully close my one remaining short contract after 5 bars since entry.

    However, sometimes it doesn't. The strategy leaves the one remaining short contract open without closing it after 5 bars since entry. There's plenty of volume in emini ES. I see no errors in Log. The strategy should successfully close my one remaining short contract.

    During simulation, it always closes the remaining short contract. I've been unable to reproduce the problem in simulation.

    What should I be looking for?

    Do you enable TraceOrders and inspect the output? You could also try

    ExitShort()

    I think internally this will close the entire open position.

      Yep, I did try ExitShort() and got the same issue.

      I will turn on Trace and see what I can find.

      btw, how do you turn on Trace?

        In Initialize()

        TraceOrders = true;

        More information - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...aceOrders.html

        Trace information is sent to the Output window.
