Strategy that is highlighted in the SM did not submit the orders that are showing below when I ran a back test and looked at the open signals it looks like an order should have fired off. When I look at the TradeStation log for orders there is nothing showing since I reset the SIM account last night.

I suspect I am doing something wrong and would love some feedback.

I believe the time difference from the back test, signals that says 15:00 and local time is in the 14:00 hour is because of central CME vs. computer being in MTN time zone.





Log below just in case.

The Strategy Monitor runs a backtest too - the same backtest - however, the difference in the S.Mon is with Live Positions. When you enable that option, the backtest can be different than a purely hypothetical backtest based on if the account is holding (or not) a position for the test symbol.

There's a lot of documentation in the Help Guide for that Preference, so I won't repeat it here.

Where did the orders in the Order Manager come from?
I can understand the BuyAtLimit, but a CoverAtLimit signal is a profit target for a [possibly hypothetical] short position. And if hypothetical, this would not occur with LIve Positions enabled in the S. Monitor.

Those 2 positions were showing under signal after running a backtest.

I ran this one specifically to show where I am seeing it.

THis limit order does not show on tradestation.

specifically captured dates/times of markets and computer

so, backtest position shows here, but does not appear in the log for that time.

Some more data that I think is generally related.

Wrote a simple strategy with no rules, just buy / sell.
it does not show signal in strategy monitor, does not execute trade.

using same symbol ESz24 or SPY I can send trades thru Order manager and they work.

using a chart and the live trades buttons, orders do not execute.

I think I have located the problem that is quite self-inflicted.

Seems I set each strategy in SM to use a Fixed Dollar size of $1 rather than 1 share/contract.

I need to wait for the futures market to open in about 30 minutes to confirm.

It's an easy one to overlook - I did too!
