Strategy error - invalid error price

[levikNT]

Hello,

I Tested my strategy in historical data and I got the following error

"**NT** A Buy order placed at '16/12/2013 16:51:00' has been ignored since the stop price is less than or equal to the close price of the current bar. This is an invalid order and subsequent orders may also be ignored. Please fix your strategy."

The order that cause this error :

EnterLongStopLimit(0,true,100,Close[0] + 2 * TickSize ,Close[0],"");

why I got this error?

Sincerely, Kobi

Hello,

Thank you for your note.

A stop limit order must have the stop price placed above the current market price.
(Try placing a stop limit order at or below market price on the SuperDOM, this will cause an error message as well)

Currently you are placing your stop price at the close price.

EnterLongStopLimit(0,true,100,Close[0] + 2 * TickSize ,Close[0],"");
EnterLongStopLimit(int quantity, double limitPrice, double stopPrice, string signalName)

If you would like to enter the market immediately, submit a market order with EnterLong().

Otherwise, add at least one tick to the close price. (I would even suggest to use GetCurrentAsk() + TickSize).
