Cumulate orders working in backtest but not live trading

  I’ll copy and paste my code just in case I have something wrong here.. But I can’t work out what the problem is.

  I watch the backtest window work side-by-side the real window and they behave differently with the same code. The backtest opens cumulative orders but the live version does not… 🙁

   

  DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = true //

  // Conditions to enter long positions
  indicator1 = MACD[12,26,9](close)
  c1 = (indicator1 CROSSES OVER -1)

  IF c1 THEN
  BUY 1 PERPOINT AT MARKET
  ENDIF

   

  // Conditions to enter short positions
  indicator3 = MACD[12,26,9](close)
  c3 = (indicator3 CROSSES UNDER 1)

  IF c3 THEN
  SELLSHORT 1 PERPOINT AT MARKET
  ENDIF

   

  // Stops and targets
  SET STOP pLOSS 20
  SET TARGET pPROFIT 25

  Just a mistake I made before that caused a similar problem. When you start your strategy live you must enter how many contracts the strategy is allowed to open. If this is for example is set to 1 your strategy will only open 1 contract and not cumulate even if you have activated it in your code.

  This must be it! Thanks a lot.
