My strategy didn’t trade last night because…

“nt8 calculated target order price was smaller/equal 0 no target order placed”

The order was a simple quantity market order on MNQ.

What the hell? I’ve run it through the Strategy Analyzer with the same resulting error.

if your target order price is the issue, we’re gonna need the logic that assigns your target order price it’s value.

Hi, Thanks for getting back to me. This error is sporadic. The calculation is on MNQ with standard candlestick charts.

			if ((QX_QUANTITYENTRY == true))
			{
				EnterLong(QX_ENTRYQUANTITYFIXED, "LE");
			}

			if ((QX_PERCENTATRISKBASEDPOSITIONSIZING == true))
			{
				EnterLong(QX_OrderQuantityPERCENTAGERISKBASED, "LE");
			}

They’re both just Enter Long market, Quantity, signal name to print

Thanks.

that is weird. It doesn’t require any target order…do you have any code that you would use a target somewhere? A google search with your error comes up with nothing. Sorry

@FauxBogan I suspect the relevant code isn’t the EnterLong() block. Since EnterLong() is just a market entry, the issue is more likely to be in the code that calculates or submits the profit target after the entry signal.
