Signals appearing and disappearing in auto-trading

Postby guest » 01 Aug 2007

This happens if your on the same bar as the signal. Do this to replicate the bug.

buy 1 contract at 1440 on stop;

1) Apply signal to chart. Do not turn on autotrading yet.
2) When price crosses 1440, you will see that multicharts generated a signal. Great. No prblem.
3) Wait until price falls under 1440.
4) Turn on auto trading.
5) The signal disappears!
6) When price touches 1440 again, the signal will reappear.

hi andrew, what do you mean a functional script? is this what you mean?

buy 1 contract next bar at 1440 on stop;

you do not need to use my exact code. just use any code you want. the point is that after you turn on auto-trade, the signal seems to recalculate based on the real-time price. if the real-time price happens to be lower than the buy stop price AND you're still on the same bar, then the signal disappears.

i hope i am not upsetting you guys. i think multicharts is great and i know you guys work very hard. it's a great product. i just want to help you guys make it perfect.

I tried to reproduce the problem, but failed.
The signal didn't disappear after I set auto-trading on. See attached screenshots.
It means there are some conditions that lead to the problem. Please try to figure out what I should do to reproduce it.
