Orders not launched

[jemoce]

Hi,

I am working on undertanding how new orders are launched.
For that, I have a very simple program:

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat)
if (CrossAbove(SMA(FastLenght), SMA(SlowLenght), 1)){
entryOrder = EnterLongStop(1, Close[0] + 0.0003);
ExitLongLimit(Low[0]);
}
}

From this code I understand a new trade should be launched once the price goes above Close + 0.0003. However, I am taking a look at the chart and I can find many situations where the conditions fulfill the requirements but no traders are launched (an example can be found on the picture).

May you help me understanding why?

Hello jemoce,

Thank you for your note.

Using EnterLongStop will submit an order which will be canceled if its not filled on the bar its submitted to.

If you use the following EnterLongStop syntex, setting liveUntilCancelled to true, do you see entries where you expect them?

EnterLongStop(int barsInProgressIndex, bool liveUntilCancelled, int quantity, double stopPrice, string signalName)
