My first automated trading strategy....trouble

[kenned45900]

Hello,

I have created a automated trademanagementsystem that looks to work fine when I backtest, but not live.

To make things simple I have added one order that should be very easy:
I want my system to buy when ask is <= askprice. (askprice is a variable, private double)

// Condition set 1
if (GetCurrentAsk() <= Askprice)
{
EnterLong(100000, "");

Why dosent my system enter 100k long when the price goes under my typed in askprice? And if I type in a value thats higher I thought my system sholuld buy at once but nothing happens..

You should use TraceOrders = true to understand what your orders are doing. That way you can see if there is anything preventing the order from going in. You should also check the Control Center logs for any errors.
