[Czarek]

Hi.
My strategy when working with TWS do not print stop loss and profitt target on chart when stop loss or profit target is filled. This stop loss or profit target appear on chart when I reload the strategy. Buy and sell order are printed Ok.
Same strategy if working with NT simulator acc print stop loss and profit target on chart, no problem. What colud be possible reason of this?

I will check my problem carrefully and I see that olny stop loss order are not printed. Trarget limit, buy to cover enter orders are OK. Only stop are not shown on chart. I use simple strategy made by strategy wizard.
This is stop loss code:
protected override void Initialize()
{

SetStopLoss("", CalculationMode.Ticks, Stop1, false);
SetProfitTarget("", CalculationMode.Ticks, Limit1);
CalculateOnBarClose = true;
}

What colud be the possible reason for it?

Please enable "TraceOrders = true" in the Initialize() method, then inspect the output in the Output window to get an idea why this method may be ignored.

Ray.
I enabled "TraceOrders = true.
If I set stop and profit as show in former message
stop loss orders are placed or filled there is nothing shown in Output window but orders are placed and executed by TWS.
Only enteries and update on bar close are shown:
2008-8-20 8:41:00 Entered internal PlaceOrder() method at 2008-8-20 8:41:00: Action=Buy OrderType=Market Quantity=25,000 LimitPrice=0 StopPrice=0 SignalName='' FromEntrySignal=''

If I stop loss and profit to each entry. Output window shows:
2008-8-20 9:16:00 Entered internal PlaceOrder() method at 2008-8-20 9:16:00: Action=SellShort OrderType=Market Quantity=25,000 LimitPrice=0 StopPrice=0 SignalName='' FromEntrySignal=''
2008-8-20 9:16:00 Entered internal SetStopTarget() method: Type=Stop FromEntrySignal='' Mode=Ticks Value=3 Currency=0 Simulated=False
2008-8-20 9:16:00 Entered internal SetStopTarget() method: Type=Target FromEntrySignal='' Mode=Ticks Value=7 Currency=0 Simulated=False

But in both cases only entry orders are printed. Do you have any idea about possiblem reason??

What instrument are you trading?

[Czarek]

I've just test it right now with 3 instruments MHI, EuroDollar and NQ. EuroDollar, MHI - both has same problem. The sample I send you before comes from Eurodollar.
NQ working OK.

Can you see if you have the same problem on ZS (SoyBeans)? Also, this is a live account and NOT an NT internal sim account such as SIM101?

[Czarek]

Ray.
I have tested 4 instruments NQ,MHI, EURUSD ans ZS with TWS connection.
With Sim101 all of them print all orders on chart, no problem.
With real account only NQ working properly.
MHI, EURUSD and ZS print only entry ordres (Buy, Sell, ). StopLoss and ProfitTaget are not printed during strategy working. All orders apprared when I reload strategy.
Do you have idea of possbile reason??
