Quick LongLimit question

[JustAFish]

Hello,

I am trying to revise this code. It seems to spaz out and sometimes works properly and sometimes it does not. If I want to change between EnterLong and LongLimit I just change out the comment. Is the LongLimit part written wrong that is causing it issues to enter properly?



EnterLong(Convert.ToInt32(DefaultQuantity), "");
if (bDebug) Print("Entering Long");
//EnterLongLimit(Convert.ToInt32(DefaultQuantity),Cl ose[0] - 2 * TickSize);

Hello JustAFish,
Thanks for your post.

It does not look like anything is wrong with your EnterLongLimit specifically. Can you please elaborate further on what you are seeing? Why do you say 'it is not entering properly'?

[JustAFish]

Some entries are not even close to within the -2 tick for whatever reason... I had one where its entry was 5 ticks above the previous close

Ultimately I want my LongLimit entry to be 2 ticks below the previous close

JustAFish,

Is this backtesting in the Strategy Analyzer or real-time?

Using the analyzer

JustAFish,

There could be several different reasons for this in the Strategy Analyzer. Please take a screenshot of the chart in the Strategy Analyzer that shows this execution and a screenshot of the Strategy Performance grid showing this execution.

To send a screenshot with Windows 7 or newer I would recommend using Window's Snipping Tool.

Alternatively to send a screenshot press Alt + PRINT SCREEN to take a screenshot of the selected window. Then go to Start--> Accessories--> Paint, and press CTRL + V to paste the image. Lastly, save as a jpeg file and send the file as an attachment.

Also can you provide the conditions surrounding your order entry?
