Hi, I wrote a code which works on back test and shows an entry for today, but it did not trigger in the live environment. It has worked previously so not sure what is wrong.

Also, I am unsure if the stop to break even code is correctly working. For example, today it rose +13 and then fell back. The stop to break even code should have kept +6 points.

Any ideas if something looks wrong in this code?

Thanks for the help.
