I set up a simple autotrade to test with my Tradestation sim account. I dragged the KnifeJuggler sample into the strategy monitor and the only change i made was to use SLV as the ticker. I put it into auto-place mode and it generated the buy order that i see in the Order Manager. I picked SLV because it is down more than 2% today and i thought the trade would trigger. Looking at the order manager, i see that the limit price is much lower than 2% below the previous close. What am i missing here?

You ran your strategy on 10 minute bars instead of Daily bars.
So it's 2% down from the last 10-minute bar close.

Thanks! Got it.. I think i am a little confused about how the order manager and strategy monitor work together. More reading required.
