entering long with a stop order at the highest high of the last x bars

[trader3000a]

Hi,
Can you help me understand the mechanics of NT in this scenario? If the last bar's high was the highest high in x bars, I need to place a stop entry order at that high. I get about 1/10th of the expected trades, however. Most of the valid highs are ignored. I suspect this may have something to do with where the next bar opens and it's opening price's proximity to the test bar's high but I'm not sure. Please advise?
thanks,
David

Hello trader3000a,

This would be a situation where you need to review the logic you made to see what specifically is happening in that use case. If you are submitting your own targets as limit type orders those can be expired so that is one possibility. It could also be that the condition to submit the order was not true. You would have to see if the logic to call the order is happening for the missed areas as a first step and then go from there based on that observation. You may need to use live until cancelled for the orders if they are expiring due to the price not being a fillable price at that time.
