Reverse your bot

[SuperDude123]

Hi
this might be a stupid question but I can't figure it out. So I mad a bot that constantly losing money like 20k per month on NQ. I figurI'd that if I flip my code to enter long instead of short and short for long. Exit also flip this should make so much money right? Nope it still lose money.

I check entry and exit and it does enter and exit same spot. It might have like 2 to 3 ticks different.

Any idea why flipping bad bot won't work?
Thanks

Hello SuperDude123,

I would analyze the trades. My guess is that the entry and exit price and times are not exactly the same.

Below is a link to a forum post that demonstrates how to write information to file for analysis.

https://ninjatrader.com/support/forum/forum/ninjatrader-8/strategy-development/100192-comparing-real-time-historical-and-replay-performance#post100192

Output the time of the bar and all values used in conditions that submit orders. Output the order object in OnOrderUpdate(). Output the TraceOrders information from OnOrderTrace(). Output the SystemPerformance.AllTrades[SystemPerformance.AllTrades.Count - 1].ProfitCurrency each time the position is closed.

Provide the output from each test and I would be happy to assist with the analysis of each trade.
