Market Replay - Historical Data - Orders ignored?

[halgo_boulder]

I'm trying to test a strategy in Playback mode, but using Historical Data rather than Market Replay (it's faster)

I have a simple long entry that is being ignored... actually I've tried two different ways... and both are being ignored. Not sure why?

For both methods I get same results, no order appearing.'

I'm trying this:
EnterLongStopLimit(1,GetCurrentAsk(),GetCurrentAsk (),"");

and this:
EnterLong("");

This is using a strategy that calculates OnBarUPdate not on each tick.

I've already reset my database.

Any suggestions?

Hello halgo_boulder,

You likely will need to use prints to see what part of your entry condition is not becoming true in that use case. The EnterLongStopLimit can be expired if not filled within the bar where the method was called, if a bar elapses and it has not filled it will expire unless your entry condition was still true and calls EnterLongStopLimit again to keep it alive. The EnterLong submits a market order which would fill immediately, if that is not being seen that indicates the entry condition was not true.

We have a guide linked below that goes over using prints and also TraceOrders to see how your strategy is working.
