Live strategy opens position but doesn't close it

[kayra]

Hello,

My strategy works fine in simulation mode but in live mode it is not acting the same. I'm using this to open position:

EnterLong(100000, "Short1")

and

ExitShort("Short1")

to close, but it doesn't fire, i don't get any message also. I'm using it with Interactive Brokers.




The second thing I noticed is that the entries are not showing on the chart when in live mode. In simulation I can see the buying and selling actions on the chart. Is this how it should work?

Thanks a lot,

Kayra

Kayra, welcome to our forums - are you sure you started the strategy on your live IB account? You need to select the account explicitly when starting the strategy up for trading.

You also want to ensure the sync between your strategy and account position is intact -

For the visualization of orders on the chart, please also ensure the correct and submitted to account is selected in the ChartTrader panel, otherwise you would not 'see' them.
