trade below did not occur

[ageeholdings]

Additionally, I have the following strategy conditions, but for some reason the trade below did not occur. DI Plus crosses Di minus at 11:28, the crosses ADX 1 minute later. The trade should have occurred on the following bar. The time frames are 10AM-3PM. and the condition group is the entry condition (no other trades occurred) so this shouldn't be an issue as it works through the rest of the day. What am i missing on why this trade did not occur?

Hello ageeholdings,

I have moved your post into it's own separate thread since it was unrelated to the original question being asked in the thread.

Any time you create a new post, this will create a new inquiry and a new case ticket, which will be answered by the first person available and may not be the person you are previously working with.

We appreciate your cooperation in this regard.

If the expected trade(s) are not appearing, this would indicate that the condition to place the order is not evaluating as true and the order is not being submitted, or the order is being ignored for other reasons, or the order is being cancelled.

To understand why the script is behaving as it is, such as placing orders or not placing orders or drawing objects when expected, it is necessary to add prints to the script that print the values used for the logic of the script to understand how the script is evaluating.

In the strategy add prints (outside of any conditions) that print the date time of the bar and all values compared in every condition that places an order.

The prints should include the time of the bar and should print all values from all variables and all hard coded values in all conditions that must evaluate as true for this action to be triggered. It is very important to include a text label for each value and for each comparison operator in the print to understand what is being compared in the condition sets.

Prints will appear in the NinjaScript Output window (New > NinjaScript Output window).

Further, enable TraceOrders which will let us know if any orders are being ignored and not being submitted when the condition to place the orders is evaluating as true.

I am happy to assist you with analyzing the output from the output window.

Run or backtest the script and when the output from the output window appears save this by right-clicking the output window and selecting Save As... -> give the output file a name and save -> then attach the output text file to your reply.

Below is a link to a forum post that demonstrates using informative prints to understand behavior and includes a link to a video recorded using the Strategy Builder to add prints.

Please let me know if I may further assist with analyzing the output or if you need any assistance creating a print or enabling TraceOrders.
