MC keep creating "STP1" to exit without complying the code.

Postby tonyng » 28 Jan 2018

We had this problem all the time with version10 until we upgrade to version11 (Build 15647). Now this bug is coming back again.
"STP1 sell 1 @0.00" This bug only happened if there is still an open position after u just reload the signal.

"STP1" is not a coding error since there isn't an STP called "STP1" and will exit for 0.0. It's an MC's assumption to terminate a round trip, and it doesn't comply to the code to take the exit.

If you have reloaded the signal,
everything is reset.

You need to write intelligence into your code to detect open positions and include them in the strategy going forward.

Since this is a complex situation, you should assemble all your logs and codes and send them to MC for analysis.

MC is not able to hold the open position after the last bar. Instead, it just creates STP1 @0.0. Does anyone have similar experience after holding a position after the last bar here?
