Question about auto trade submission

[rehtrade]

Hi,
OK, I put my autoatrategy on a live chart in SIM Mode.
The things is, my entry for a long or short was not triggered, yet, I went into a short position even with the wait till 20 bars have gone by.
What do I need to do, so it waits for the set up?

Thanks,

Rachel

Rachel,

As you run your strategy it is always waiting for the set up. When your conditions are evaluated to true then it will place a simulated trade. Otherwise it will keep waiting.

Remember to use some Draw object to mark up your chart for ease of knowing what your strategy is doing.
