I’m trying a simple autotrading strategy with PRT Bands, just to test it (I’m using IB), but I don’t understand why it works correctly in backtest but not in DEMO. In Demo it doesn’t open positions, anyone can help me why, please? I’ve got a strategy on gold that works, now I’m testing the strategy on large stocks (Tesla and Nvidia) , but for some reason it doesn work. I’m thinking if the problem is the fact it buys at market and not with limit order?
Yes I mean paper trading. ISn’t correct to use Market order in DEMO? I saw it works for gold (but it’s another strategy). by the way my doubt was another one. Since that during pre market and after market you can enter long only with limit order, is it correct to use “Buy at Market” ? I don’t think that is the problem because I verified that the condition to enter was activeted during regular hours.
my DEMO account has 25K. 10 shares of a stock whose value is 150 $, I don’t believe that could be a problem. COuld be because IB does work only in a limited choiches so far?
strategy was lunched on 4th of march, in attachment you see the chart of the strategy where there are no positions open, on the right chart the backtest. As you can see a position should be opened but there is nothing. I cannot explain. someone can understand why?
