I spent some time with the Live Chat and my understanding is that for it to work correctly you have to use Barstatus=2 in your code:

if C > C[1] then sellshort next bar open;
end;

TJ, I use intrabar strategy and would like to work within the bar, so my calculation would like to keep track of open, high, low, close of the working bar and for that reason it is very important that I have correct values to work with. "BarStatus(1)=1", represents "tick within a bar" as per definit...

SUPER

JoshM Many thanks for your feedback, I really admire your programing skills. I will try out your code on Monday when I have access to live data, I suspect BarStatus(1)=1 could be responsible as I do remember from old discussion that it does not work same way as TS. Yes, I have "skip identical ticks"...

SUPER

I am running following test code to see what vaules I get for "Open", "High", "Low" and "Close" on the first tick of a bar, to my surprise they are different, it was my belief that on first tick of a new bar they all should be same. I will appreciate clarification. [IntrabarOrderGeneration = True] V...

I think they should work correctly or not at all or possibly give the user a warning when they start to backtest or autotrade that is doesn't work correctly.

Spacent, Looking at your scenario 3, I don't understand how can you expect a sell limit order to get filled when the price does not trade at that level, even in manual trade this is not possible so how do you expect to see this trade on MC.

escamillo,

SP's suggestion seems to be working I do not see any spikes. Remember this works for IB, I don't think you have similar options for Zen-Fire data.

Once again SP thanks.

Check "Generate a new tick if Total Volume changes" on the QuoteManager->DataSources->IB->Real-time Data

Thanks SP, will give it a try.

Your symbol mapping is not correct, you need to put in values for "Multiplier" and "Local Symbol" , these fields should match IB symbol and not your chart symbol. Please have a look at similar question asked at :

MC is working as expected, to overcome your problem you have following choice: A) Increase your capital base or decrease your order size to fit within your margin/capital requirements.

You will not see your order confirmation screen and orders will get trasmitted to your broker without your personal involvement.

You can use "Positionprofit" to distinguish between your position, for example If Marketposition > 0 and PositionProfit =-200 then begin Sell("Long Stop1") from entry ("Break Up1") next bar at market; end; If Marketposition > 0 and PositionProfit =-100 then begin Sell("Long Stop2") from entry ("Brea...
