NinjaTrader Not Sending Orders

[alekseyz]

Hello NinjaTrader Support,

This is the issue that I facing.

Account Type: SIM
Trading: Forex
NinjaTrader: 7.0.1000.30, 64-bit

Issue:
I have notice that Orders are simply not being send\Executed during testing of my automated strategy. This is not observed during the historical testing, only when the Strategy is running in live mode
To make sure that I am not gone Mad, I decided to verify that.

This is the code that I using

string tempPostionDirection;
int tempSize;

if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long)
{
tempPostionDirection = "Long";
}
else
{
tempPostionDirection = "Short";
}
int Position_Multiplier = 1;
if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Short)
Position_Multiplier = -1;
if (globalPositionSize > 0 && (Position.Quantity != Math.Abs(globalPositionSize) || Position.MarketPosition != MarketPosition.Long) )
{
tempSize = Convert.ToInt32(globalPositionSize - Position.Quantity*Position_Multiplier);
WriteToLog(path_folder+path_temp_file,"SIZE CORRECTION. globalPositionSize: " + globalPositionSize + ". Position.Quantity: " + Position.Quantity + ".Position.MarketPosition: " + Position.MarketPosition + ".TempSize: " + tempSize);
if (tempSize > 0)
EnterLong(tempSize);
else
ExitLong(-tempSize);
return;
}


WriteToLog - is a simple function that I wrote that outputs some messages.

Sure enough -> I got constantly messages from the WriteToLog function:
20160211 72516,SIZE CORRECTION. globalPositionSize: 10. Position.Quantity: 30.Position.MarketPosition: Long. TempSize: -20
But EnterLong/ExitLong Order did not work.

Can you let me know if there any additional debugging do I need to turn on to figure out why it is not sending any Orders?

Hello,
To find out more information on why the orders are not submitting I would recommend to use TraceOrders.
Please see the following link on using TraceOrders for debugging: http://ninjatrader.com/support/forum...ead.php?t=3627

That did not do anything

I added the following:
//Tracing orders
TraceOrders = true;
into Initialize()

Compiled the code, restart the strategy.

This morning the Order again did not executed. I don't see anything in the traces either.

Hello,
Can you verify nothing printed to the output window with TraceOrder set to true?
You can access the Output Window by going to Tools> Output Window.

Yes, I confirm:
for the time that the order was send -> nothing is recorded in the Trace/Logs even when TraceOrder is set to true

I opened the Tools -> Output Window, right now it is blank. Will wait if anything pops up.

Hello,
TraceOrders does not print out to the log and trace file. TraceOrders will print out to the Output Window. Please have the Output Window open and reload your strategy.
