DOES THIS LINE indicate that I was using a secondary data series

[DTSSTS]

I had this working on prior strategies but not on the one I am working on at this time


if ((Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Short)
&& (ShortTrades == true)
&& (TimeExit2 == true)

&& ((Close[1] > Open[1])
|| (Close[1] == Open[1])
|| (Close[1] < Open[1]))


&& (ToTime(Times[0][1]) == 092600))

{
ExitShort(Convert.ToInt32(Position.Quantity), @"STimeExit2", @"");

}


DOES THIS LINE indicate that I was using a secondary data series, (which would make sense to me as I used a non time based primary bar type)

&& (ToTime(Times[0][1]) == 092600))

Thanks

Hello DTSSTS,

No, not necessarily. Using Times[0][1] would be the most recent bar of the primary series BarsInProgress 0.
This would be fine to use even if no additional data series have been added with AddDataSeries() calls in State.Configure.

If you want to know why the condition is not evaluating as true, print the time of the bar and all values in the condition along with labels for each value and comparison operator.

Below is a link to a forum post that discusses using prints to debug and understand behavior.

Are you certain that a non-time-based bar type is going to have a bar with a close time of exactly 9:26 am? (This seems unlikely)
