EnterLongLimit, EnterShortLimit not works

[dalisdj]

Hello,
I'm trying to write multi-time-frame strategy to backtest and got problem with EnterLongLimit / EnterShortLimit functions.

This strategy works with 2 time frames.

1. 15 Minute period as primary
2. 1 Day period as secondary

My strategy calculate at the first bar of every day the price to get long (from Day period bars) and set orders by calling EnterLongLimit( price ) and vice versa.

The problem is, that the order is executed immediately even if the price was not reached. This order is also executed by limit price and not by market price.

Hope I explain this issue clearly.
Thanks.

Hi dalisdj, can you please post your code so we can take a closer look?

Hi Austin,
here is your code. Btw I use 7.0.1000.7.

dslisdj, have you tried using stop orders yet? From the description you've provided earlier along with your code, it looks like you're trying to place two orders at a high and low price and wait until those prices are hit before the order fills. Your limit orders would be filled immediately because the long limit is higher than the current market price and vice-versa for the short limit order.

Please try with stop orders and let me know if you then get the expected behavior.

I see EnterLongLimit works differently than I expected. Changing to EnterLongStop make this code works according to my expectations.

Thank you very much for solving this problem Austin.
