Strange behavior -> ProfitTarget in Strategy?

[fernlicht]

Hello Fellows,

I experienced a strange behavior in my current automated strategy.
I attached a picture of my chart which shows the real time test on sim account.
On the left/middle side of the chart you can see the historical trades. That looks good.
But on the very right side (@20:00) you can see the real trades which happend when i turned the strategy on.
It seems that the profit target got hit immediatelly after buying/selling...
This is kind of strange, because in the backtest and in the historical trades of running strategy everything seems to be fine...


Can somebody of you point me in the right direction? I'm kind of clueless here.

Thanks!

Hello fernlicht,

Taking a look at your picture it looks like your Profit Target is being set to 0 right before 19:15.

You may want to use Print() statements to verify values are what you expect and how your code is being prcocessed.

Another helpful tools in strategies is TraceOrders, when set to true to your Initialize() method and you can then view valuable output related to strategy submitted orders through Tools > Output window.
