Orders not going through?

[boreland]

Hi,

Using Chelsea's chartTraderButton code I have created buttons that buy and sell at the mid point between the Ask and Bid price. When I click the button the orders do not go through? Tested pre-market.

protected void Button3Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
double midPoint = (GetCurrentAsk() + GetCurrentBid())/2;

if ((GetCurrentAsk() - GetCurrentBid()) > 0.01 )

EnterShortLimit(Math.Truncate(100 * midPoint) / 100);

else

EnterShort();
}

OK I found the problem. I guess strategies default to the Sim account rather than the selected account in chartTrader.

Hello boreland,

It seems like you found the answer here, you will need to select the account for the strategy when applying it. If you have any further questions please feel free to update your post.


I look forward to being of further assistance.
