there is something really strange going on. I am testing AOS while replaying a chart. For some reason it seems that sierra holds its history of entries even though I deleted all the data from sim account through tradelog using this clear option https://prnt.sc/19sg7je. And also when I start replaying a chart there is a popup asking, if i want to delete all data from account... I confirm i want. BUT, then I start replaying, there is a signal to enter short position now and YES, siera opens a short entry BUT IT PLACES SELL ENTRY ABOVE current price (see here with https://prnt.sc/19sjdmq) How can that be? It is a nonsense. This is the actual level of an entry from previously done replay. BUT WHY IT IS STILL THERE? AND WHY IT IS TRIGGERED NOW WITH A COMPLETELY NEW SIGNAL? IT SHOULD BE DELETED It also does not show anything in the tradelog.. see here https://prnt.sc/19sk381 Can you please explain what is happenening. I really need to make it work CORRECTLY so I can test things properly Date Time Of Last Edit: 2021-07-09 18:38:21

When you are running the replay, you are in Simulation mode, and it is going to open a trade according to any trading items that you have setup, such as an automated trading system. If you do not want the trading to take place, then you would need to turn off the trade option before you start the replay. Refer to the following: Trade Menu: Trading Locked (Trade menu) The particular trade you are referencing is not at the price you expect because it is a "Market if Touched" order. It is not a Market order. You would need to go through your system to determine why these items are setup. We can not say, as they have been set this way by yourself. It is not something that we have any control over. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

no, i want the system open the trade, but how can it put a sell short order higher than is the current price is a mystery to me it is not due to MARKET_IF_TOUCHED, the price never touched the level the sell order is placed to, you can see it clearly. it happens because it still keeps a record of entry from previous replays (where later on it entered exactly on this level because the price actually rose there and a signal came there). my point is - it did not delete/clear this record from the previous replay. it somehow remembered it and when a signal to open a short appeared this time, it just placed the remembered, undeleted order from the previous replay into the chart. or else, how is it possible that i have a position opened in a chart but the log does not show any https://prnt.sc/19sk381 - it is weird isn't it?

Look carefully at the pictures again, there is no open position, you are flat. The 'Market If Touched' (MIT) order shown on the chart is 'Open' i.e. not filled as it has not been touched. This explains both how you have a sell order above current price, and why there is no trade in the log. As to why the order is at that level, what does it say in the trade log when you look at 'orders' rather than 'fills'? |
