ProfitTarget filled on backtesting and did not fill on real scenario

[Fabiorp]

Dear Friends,


Please, could somebody help me ? Im a kind of newbie on Ninjatrader coding...


There is a problem when I run the backtest. Looking at the picture in attachment (1 minute chart) you can see a complete short position, with profit target filled, but in the real scenario it did not fill.


Im using the code “SetProfitTarget(Target);” at “protectedoverridevoid Initialize()”.


Why it is happening? Any suggestions?


Thank you very much and happy new year !!

Fabiorp,

There are known discrepancies between live trading and backtesting. For more information please see the following link.

Dear Adam P., Thanks for your answer.

Are there any way to solve this discrepancies ? Like using MultiTimeFrame ?

I tried to use "Add(PeriodType.Tick, 1);", but it is not possible to use BarsArray[1] on "SetProfitTarget(Target);"....

Best Regards,
Fábio
