why order execution is late in auto strategy

[uzairkha]

Hi all,

I designed a small test auto strategy but the issues is that it is slow to react, after the conditions executed on chat, system wont put the order right away. I mean usually it executes its order after 2nd or 3rd candle.

All I want is that my strategy should execute order immediately after conditions in strategy got executed on chart.

Thanks
Uzair

uzairkha, welcome to the forums - please work with CalculateOnBarClose = false to submit the order on the tick after the conditions triggered (this will only work in realtime, as the intrabar tick formation is not known in backtesting) -

still not working

I do have CalculateOnBarClose = false (box uncheck) in my strategy. But still it’s not working. Any thing else which needs to be corrected.

uzairkha, unfortunately hard to tell without having a rough idea of your custom code and what you attempt to do - do you have the same when our default SampleMACrossOver is used? Please also add a visual check (DrawArrow, Dots) as your conditions trigger so you can debug if the hit as think they do.
