I have my automatic trading system running on my live account for about 4 months now. Never had a problem, but yesterday it should have put on a buy order, closing my current short position. I only noticed it this morning when I opened PRT. I now missed out on profits and I had to close my short position and open a new buy position manually. Unfortunately the position is a little bit messed up now, because it’s not according to my algorithm. The automated system didn’t give a warning and was still turned on, so how can it be my order didn’t execute? I’m certain the code is the same as with backtest and I copied and pasted the code to test it again and the backtest says it should have executed an order. I have almost the same system, but with larger positions running on my demo account and there it did execute an order. How can this be?

Was it on Real Live or Demo Live?
If Demo Live then probably not worth contacting IG as they consider Demo as a Test System and as such Issues get low priority / zero priority.
If real Live then yeah contact IG and be sure to let us know the outcome please?

Demo Account using ProOrder / Forward Test or Demo Account on backtest?
06/23/2020 at 10:26 AM #136900Oh wow, how long do you run this automated system? I’ll be monitoring this very closely from now on. I called IG and they said I should send my code for diagnostics, but I know for a fact there’s nothing wrong with the code. I have been running this system for many months.

ProOrder on Demo executed the trade. Unfortunate for me it was a winning trade that the Live account missed out on. Have been running this stratey on Live account for 16 days now and it was the second time it happened.
