Strategy not following conditions

[imoncada1]

Hello! I have made a strategy and applied it on a the ES! in 5 mins timeframe. Im considering conditions from another timeframe (EMA(89) (60 minutes) < SMA(200) (60 minutes)). However the strategy it is not taking into account that particular condition.
Attached the screen shot of configuration.
Could you please provide some guidance on why could this be happening? Thanks!

Hello imoncada1,

Thank you for your post.

I apologize for the delay in my reply as we've been switching to a new support system this week and are a bit behind.

I'm not seeing anything blazingly obvious as to why you may not be seeing orders when you would expect, but the first thing I would recommend would be to turn on the Order Trace function:

Strategy Builder > Default Properties > More Properties > Trace Orders, or:

if (State == State.SetDefaults)
{
TraceOrders = true;
}

Once you then recompile the strategy, you can open a new NinjaScript Output window under New > NinjaScript Output. This will print a log of any orders submitted by the strategy during while it's running, along with any ignored orders. You can then look through and see what may be occurring.

Here is a link to our help guide that goes into more detail on tracing orders:

Trace orders alone may not give you the full picture of whether or not a trade should have been entered on a given bar, so adding prints to your strategy that will show in the NinjaScript Output window, with information on what the variables you're using for your conditions are on a particular bar, can be helpful.

This forum post goes into great detail on how to use prints to help figure out where issues may stem from — this should get you going in the correct direction. You can even add these using the Strategy Builder.

If you run into issues like we saw here, the above information will allow you to print out all values used in the condition in question that may be evaluating differently. With the printout information you can assess what is different between the two. I'd suggest printing the values you're using in your conditions so you can easily see what they correspond to on the chart and better understand if an order should be placed or not based on the values returned.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.
