Signals not firing
chart is cloned with all same settings
The chart with autotrading set to on does not fire signal all week.
exact same setup on another platform has fired all the signals to match the chart on the right which has autotrade set to off.
On other charts, some signals fire and half do not.
Any ideas ?

Re: Signals not firing
Hello Shane,
Please go to File->New->Order and position tracker window->Orders tab->make sure all filters are set to "All". Are there any orders generated by this chart/strategy since you have turned on the auto trading for it ? What are the statuses of the orders?

Re: Signals not firing
hi henry
There are no orders placed for these charts which are 21 point charts
I did notice that all of the time based charts have orders in place.
That must mean I have a problem with tick data.
I also see that 2 34 point charts have orders in that tab.
So it must be that specific point chart. The 21 point chart .

Re: Signals not firing
Shane,
Are you comparing a forward testing chart with an auto trading = on chart?
Have you tried debugging your signal and ensuring that the order execution conditions are met in the code?

Re: Signals not firing
hi
the forward chart seems to fire fine.
But I did find something on one of the 21 point chart. I changed data to 10 days back instead of 5 in a cloned chart and that fired today no problem.
Could that be it ? Even though the forward test did fire on 5 days of data ?
Also, I found on another that a signal was fired on at a specific time when the Autotrade was off, but did not fire on the chart with autotrade on. That 2 minute period was very volatile and could have been due to the order actually not getting placed in real time only.
I will compare the extended data range further and see how that goes.
Thanks for your help Henry.
I will post more here in the coming days
regards
