Exit on session close

[AlessioCianini12]

Hi, even though i deactivated the exitonSessionClose it still exit on session close. What can it be?

Hey Alessio,

If you are in any open positions in a backtest, and the backtest finishes it will show you exit on session close with your current open positions which is basically a way of showing unrealized profit.

If you were running that strategy live it would still be in a position.

That's not it or I would have just one exit on session close, not 5 also it uses wrong day for the backtest. I selected 15/3 to 21/3 and it opens position from the 8/3 to the 11/3

It shows 5 because you have different entry prices, NinjaTrader separates by Entry Prices and by Entry name.

Hello AlessioCianini12,

JakeOfSpades is correct in that in the Strategy Analyzer, any open positions are exited on the last historical bar automatically so that the trade information can be included with the results. If there are multiple entry orders with unique signal names, these would all be individual trades exited by an exit on close order.

Regarding the dates, is perhaps a stale results page?
Can you close this Strategy Analyzer, open a new analyzer window, select these settings, and reproduce this behavior?
Are there errors appearing on the Log tab of the Control Center?

Hi, there is no error in the log, also in the strategy I created a method that closes all the position after 17.30, in playback works perfectly, in the analyzer debugging it, it doesn't show any problem with the calculation, therefore I don't understand what is going on. Why it stops after the 11 of march, why it doesn't go for also the other days? I have downloaded all the historical data so it's not a problem related to it.. Can i send my code to someone to try it? thanks

Hello AlessioCianini12,

You would need to debug the script using Print() and TraceOrders to understand the behavior.

Below is a link to a forum post that demonstrates using Print() and TraceOrders to understand behavior.

https://ninjatrader.com/support/forum/forum/ninjatrader-7/strategy-development-aa/99209-date-conditions-not-working?p=791121#post791121

If you start by printing the time of the bar, you can verify that the data is being processed after March 11th.

If you print the values in the conditions, you can verify why these evaluate as true or false.

If you enable TraceOrders you can see when orders are being submitted, ignored, rejected, or cancelled.
