Not catching all entries, please can someone help with an explanation.

[Jaxx2022]

I am playing with the following code. when i run the strategy it makes entries for UT UT IN and DT DT IN within startTradingInTime and endTradingInTime as expected. However, it does not enter trades for UT UT OUT and DT DT OUT within the second timeframe being startTradingOutTime and endTradingOutTime. However, there are a few sporadic UT UT OUT/DT DT OUT trades within the TradingInTime rather than the TradingOutTime.

Can someone please explain my error?

Much appreciated.

{

if ((Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat)
&& (ToTime(Time[0]) <= endTradingInTime)
&& (ToTime(Time[0]) >= startTradingInTime))

{


if ((XavTrend1 == 5)
&& (XavTrend2 == 5)
&& (ScalpTrader == 1)
&& (adxlong_in > ADXlong)
&& (dm.DiPlus[i]>dm.DiMinus[i])
&& (Close[0] > sma_in))

{


EnterLong(lots, "UT+UT IN");
SetTrailStop("UT+UT IN",CalculationMode.Ticks,24,false);
if (printtolog == true) Print("LONG TRADE UT UT IN-----------RGAuto:" );

}


if ((XavTrend1 == -5)
&& (XavTrend2 == -5)
&& (ScalpTrader == 2)
&& (adxshort_in > ADXshort)
&& (dm.DiPlus[i]<dm.DiMinus[i])
&& (Close[0] < sma_in))


{

EnterShort(lots, "DT+DT IN");
SetTrailStop("DT+DT IN",CalculationMode.Ticks,24,false);
if (printtolog == true) Print("SHORT TRADE UT UT IN-----------RGAuto:");


}

Hello Jaxx2022,

From looking just at the code we would not be able to tell what's wrong. This is a situation where you need to use prints like you are already to find what is happening.

If you are not seeing the prints you added for the OUT then that indicates the parent condition was not true. You would have to add additional prints outside that condition to output the variables you used in the condition to see what's happening.

If you see the print from inside your condition that may be that the order was ignored, you can use TraceOrders to observe that situation: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ub=traceorders
