Hello, I'm developing a trading bot and attempting to test it using the Trading Evaluator. It appears that my profit target orders are being deleted. My configuration consists of running two bots for the same symbol, one long and one short, with each bot having a separate chart / trading account. I'm not using attached orders. When a long or short signal occurs, I call BuyEntry for a long and SellEntry for a short. The entry could be an initial entry or a scale-in to an existing position. After processing all the bars that need processing, I then attempt to build a bracket for the final total order quantity. As part of this, I'm placing 2 profit target orders and a stop loss order. The return status from the calls to place the profit target orders and stop loss order are greater than zero. The stop loss order works fine and is shown on the ladder. The profit target orders either don't appear or appear for a small time on the ladder, then disappear. Would you have some insight into why this is happening? Thanks RN |

Check your "Trade >> Trade Service Log" and see what it states with regards to those orders. If the orders are being sent properly, then there would be a rejection message in the that log that tells you why. Otherwise, it would most likely be an issue with how the orders are being sent and that something is not setup properly within your code.
