Backtest via Replay not entering orders

seems that i cannot get any orders to fill when running a strategy in replay mode... i can see the strategy working (green highlighted box) in the strategy tab

Hello,

You probably need to debug the strategy. Does the SampleMACrossOver strategy work?

"else if"

could it be the "else if" text that is preventing orders from being filled?

current or last swing

current high <= Swing "strength" (10).of current swinglow...

[SIZE=2][FONT=Courier New](High[[/FONT][/SIZE][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080]0[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2]] <= Swing([/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080]10[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2]).SwingLow[[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080]0[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2]])[/SIZE][/FONT]

would the "last swing low" be

.SwingLow(1)

duck_CA,

You would need to debug your strategy. Please add Print functions inside your if-statements to see if they are even evaluating to true.

.SwingLow[1] is not the last low swing. It is the low swing's value as of the previous bar. You need to use this to get the barsAgo for the previous swing: Swing(int strength).SwingLowBar(int barsAgo, int instance, int lookBackPeriod)
And then you can plug that value into .SwingLow[].
