close after bars not working

2 replies

5 years ago #233782

I have a simple strategy that opens a trade (market Order) at a particular time and I wish to close the trade X bars later.

When I use the ExitAfterBars feature, the trade closes as expected in the strategy tester. However, when it is on a live account, it closes every time at the next bar.

For example, open at 11am on 1H bars and set the ExitAfterBars to 3

Then on the strategy tester it woks – exiting 3 bars later.

Run it live – it exits on the next bar.

Any ideas on why this might be happening?

Hello,

can you send me your project to [email protected]? Does it happen in live or even in “sim” mode?

This has been brought up some time ago and was said to be fixed for SQ4. I hope it is

Risk Disclosure:
Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure:
Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. no representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
