Strategy suddenly stopping

[heech]

Hi,

In some of my backtest cases, the execution of a strategy will suddenly stop. I'm wondering if it's related to RealtimeErrorHandling.

Here's what I see in my debugging output:

2/28/2008 7:00:00 AM Entered internal SetStopTarget() method: Type=Stop FromEntrySignal='' Mode=Price Value=15.75 Currency=0 Simulated=False
2/28/2008 7:00:00 AM Amended stop order: Order='NT-00001/Back101' Name='Stop loss' State=Working Instrument='ABH' Action=Sell Limit price=0 Stop price=15.75 Quantity=100 Strategy='ProtectDown' Type=Stop Tif=Gtc Oco='NT-00000' Filled=0 Fill price=0 Token='18121809b90642918fd6e5d11c8401a4' Gtd='12/1/2099 12:00:00 AM'
2/28/2008 7:00:00 AM Entered internal PlaceOrder() method at 2/28/2008 7:00:00 AM: Action=Sell OrderType=Market Quantity=0 LimitPrice=0 StopPrice=0 SignalName='' FromEntrySignal=''
2/28/2008 7:00:00 AM Cancelled pending exit order, since associated position is closed: Order='NT-00001/Back101' Name='Stop loss' State=Working Instrument='ABH' Action=Sell Limit price=0 Stop price=15.75 Quantity=100 Strategy='ProtectDown' Type=Stop Tif=Gtc Oco='NT-00000' Filled=0 Fill price=0 Token='18121809b90642918fd6e5d11c8401a4' Gtd='12/1/2099 12:00:00 AM'

I acknowledge there's probably a bug in my code here, since I shouldn't ExitLongAtLimit() and ExitLong() within the same bar... but the response is a little odd.

I get this one last call in my OnOrderUpdate handler:

Received cancelled order: Order='NT-00001/Back101' Name='Stop loss' State=Cancelled Instrument='ABH' Action=Sell Limit price=0 Stop price=15.75 Quantity=100 Strategy='ProtectDown' Type=Stop Tif=Gtc Oco='NT-00000' Filled=0 Fill price=0 Token='18121809b90642918fd6e5d11c8401a4' Gtd='12/1/2099 12:00:00 AM'

... and then the execution has simply stopped. OnBarUpdate is no longer called.

I know the docs for RealTimeErrorHandling mentions stopping the strategy (by default) if there is a rejected order... what about during back-testing? What if there's an error in exits as in this case? Could it be the cause for the strategy simply "ending"?

And there are no errors in the Control Center log tab just to double check?

You're a pro, Ray... that's exactly the issue.

"Reference not set to an instance of an object." I don't really see how that could be happening, but I'll double check.
