Buy STP strategy signal not executed

[juankvillegas]

As you can see in the image, the Buy STP signal was not executed:


I'm not sure why this happened. Is it because my strategies have the Sync value set to False? I've noted that recently the strategies change Sync to False but I don't know why it happens.

Hello juankvillegas,

A buy stop order would fill once the price is greater than the stop price.

For this image it would depend on when the order was submitted.

To understand the behavior, print the order.ToString() in OnOrderUpdate(), and print the High[0] in OnBarUpdate() (On each price change).

Below is a link to a support article on adding debugging prints to understand behavior.

Save the output text file and attach this to your next post.

Thank you for your answer.

As you can see on the image (it is a 1 minute chart), the orders were placed on the red triangles that are 20 and 24 minutes before (both are short positions). The stop is a trailing stop that follows the price with a distance of $4. I'm almost sure that it should have hit the stop 5 minutes before I took the screenshot, But I don't understand why it didn't do it.
