Buy stop or buy stop limit orders can't be placed...

[reynoldsn]

I have a strategy that take orders correctly most of the time in market replay. It appears that when there is very quick price movement and if my strategy fires an order, I occasionally get the error:

Buy stop or buy stop limit orders can't be placed below the market. affected Order: BuyToCover...

Please see attached image

Please advise

Hello reynoldsn,

This indicates that between when your order is in the Initialized or Pending Submit states, and before it can reach the Accepted state, the market has moved in such a way that your order is no longer a valid type. This is the way stop limit orders are designed to work.

To enable me to provide better assistance, I would like to ask, does your strategy use the managed order entry methods at this link?

I am including a link to the Order States section of the Help Guide as well,

Thank you for the reply.

Yes, the strategy uses managed orders. The other thing that happens is that when this condition occurs, I lose all the plots of the prior trades but they do show up on the Trades tab.
Please advise.
