IOG=false yet Portfolio Manager sends automated orders intrabar

Postby fltngpnt » 15 Nov 2022

I'm running a signal on multiple instruments in Portfolio Manager. All of the tradeable instruments are on 5-min. bars. The signal references multiple other instruments, as well as the trading instruments at different time frames (3-min and 15-min), for its calculations. My script has Intrabar Order Generation set to false and the buy and sell orders specify "next bar at open," but the signal is sending out orders at odd times within the 5-min bar, though always at the start of a new minute. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? Is it generating orders at the opens of the 3-minute bars?

Hello fltngpnt,

If you’re referring to auto trading, please send us a report via the main MultiCharts window -> Help -> Feedback.
In the description field:
  • Specify the Broker Order ID of the order in question (File -> New -> Order and Position Tracker -> Orders tab.
  • Leave a link to this forum post
Then select the options:
Attach a screenshot;
Attach log files…;
Include Backup of Logs from previous sessions;
Upload collected data to Help Desk;
uncheck other options and click Send.

Also, please send your Portfolio workspace where the behaviour is reproduced here or to our support email.

If the behaviour happens in backtesting or forward testing, please reproduce it with pre-built signals and send us the report (Broker ID would not be required, just make sure the order is visible on the screenshot) and workspace as described above.
