Hi Everyone,

I have a list of Buy and Sell trade alerts in Signals tab of a backtest.

When I select all of them and click "Stage Signals" or "Place Signals", why are only the Buy Signals and not the Sell Signals shown in Order Manager?

Please refer to the below screenshot for detail.



Thank you,
pmbf

Because you don’t have corresponding positions in the account to sell.

It's easy: the sell orders belong to (historic / backtested) positions that you haven't entered. The strategy starts live trading from scratch then.

P.S. To sync with existing positions in your broker account, check "Use Live Positions" in Preferences > Trading.

Yes, but this works only for the Strategy Monitor and Streaming Windows, not a Strategy Design Window like the one shown above.

OK, overlooked that on the screenshot.
