Profit Target not triggered??

[edgeliner]

If I have a profittarget =1, check out the image attached and explain why it didn't trigger at any of the trigger points? Thanks!

[edgeliner]

There must be a way to enforce the exit of the position at that point other than "ProfitTarget" (When it is at a profit of 1)????

Hello edgeliner,

Thank you for your post.

Unfortunately, your image did not come through on your last post.

Hello edgeliner,

Thank you for your response.

Is this a custom developed Strategy you are using? Or an ATM strategy?

If this is an ATM strategy please respond with a screenshot of your ATM strategy parameters.

I look forward to assisting you further.

It is a custom strategy with Profittarget set to 1????

Hello,

What CalculationMode are you using for your SetProfitTarget, Price, Tick or Percent?

Please enable the TraceOrders property in your Initialize method and re run the strategy. This will give us additional logging to investigate whey these orders are not filling.

More information on using TraceOrders for more information:

CalculationMode is set to ticks....and.......I always use traceorders.......

Can you please post the output from the Output window from the time this order should have been placed?

[edgeliner]

Unfortunately, I don't have a timestamp on the the output window. I will add it to my code and when it happens again, I will get it for you.....thanks!

[edgeliner]

Matthew....... I will send you the code from work today. Attached is another example of how the suystem works great most of the time, then wham, give away all the profits with one trade that did not exit when supposed to........ :-(
