Post From: Custom Study Compiles but Not Recognized or Executed in Chart Replay Mode

Hello Sierra Chart Support,

I’m encountering a persistent issue when developing and compiling a custom study (VectorAI) using ACSIL. The study compiles successfully from the ACS_Source directory and appears in the list of available studies. However, when added to a chart and run in Chart Replay mode:

No trades are executed

No trade activity is logged

No markers are displayed

The Trade Activity Log and Trade Orders windows remain blank

Here’s what I’ve confirmed so far:

Study compiles with no errors using Visual C++ release build

sc.AllowOnlyOneTradePerBar and sc.MaintainTradeStatisticsAndTradesData are set to true

All auto trading settings are enabled: Global, Chart, Simulation Mode, and Chart Trade Mode

Chart Replay Mode is properly set up and active

The chart displays the signal overlay (e.g., SMA) correctly

Symbol used is ESM25 with a valid chartbook and data loaded

Trade simulation settings are properly configured

Tick size, quantity, and order structure are verified

All Chart Settings (Trading tab) and Global Settings are correctly configured

I’ve even tested different file names (e.g., MinimalPlaybackTest.cpp) with identical code, and sometimes it works once, then fails under the same setup.

Could you help us determine why the compiled strategy fails to trigger trades or register any simulation activity during replay?

Thank you for your help.
