    Hi,

    I have a strategy that shows results in Demo Backtest but no trades are taken in Demo Autotrade.

    My strategy works for USDJPY on the 1 min TF and uses a number of indicators (standard and proprietary) plus I refer to the 15 min, 1hr and 4hr  TF for creating “no-entry” conditions. I use PRT v10.3 with IG Markets.

    What could be the reason that no trades are executed?

    I tested a version of the code where I deleted all references to the 15min and 1hr TF and then trades where taken.

    Below is part of my code, so maybe someone experienced can see the problem.

    Thanks.

    I tested a version of the code where I deleted all references to the 15min and 1hr TF and then trades where taken.

    It means that all conditions on separate TFs cannot be met, They are likely to be very strict.

    @robertogozzi : But why are then trades showing up in Backtest. That would mean that the conditions on the other TFs are not met and therefore don’t prevent a trade from being entered?

    What’s the value for ContractSize, did you GRAPH it ?

    How do I do this?

    #175030

    just append

    to your code, then backtest it.

    Then check what’s its value candle by candle in the variable windows that backtest will open just below the equity curve.

    You can append more GRAPH instructions if you want to monitor additional variables.

    The ContractSize for the last 1000 units on the 1 Min chart was changing between 24 and 34.

    When I setup up the system I just put in the max. contracts to 10. Did that prevent the trades from being taken? I was assuming if the calculated contract size would be bigger than the max. amount, the system then just uses the max. amount I set up.

    No, that shouldn’t matter.

    But it’s worth while trying with 999 contracts,

    Thank you. I’ll try it.

    Any other idea what to look for?

    I was hoping someone in the forum can help me as the responsiveness of ProRealTime support regarding technical reports is a little bit slow.  Last week I got a question regarding a request I sent more than two months ago. And two days later another reply from a request from December last year!

    I’be been waiting 4+ months for an answer!

    Sacha, as far as my experience goes, this does matter. And no, it won’t do less if you set it to less (normally one would not want that).
    Also check the available funds. If they are insufficient nothing will happen (obviously). Here too, it won’t go with less.

    Margin required for 24 contracts could be the problem, try with 1 contract and see how it goes?
