OCO Orders Via Strategy Builder

[ThatMikey]

I'm trying to build a strategy that will, when my conditions are met, submit both a long and a short limit order at a user defined distance from the open of a candle. I'm having some difficulty getting this to actually run...yellow strategy name then no actions whatsoever... Is this a possible thing on this platform? Thanks.

Hello ThatMikey,

A yellow strategy means it is waiting until flat before working in realtime, your exit conditions need to happen before it will start. When you apply a strategy it runs a historical backtest first, if your strategy enters a position and does not close it then it will wait.

Thank you.

Jesse, is there a way to code a strategy so it starts in a flat position regardless of what's happened historically?
