Take Profits not Triggered
05 Sep 2017, 16:13

Guys,
One of my algos is trading 1 minute bars. From the backtest, I can see an other placed for 2 lots and the corresponding TP placed below.

But the take profit is not triggered even though the bar goes 0.8 pips through my order.

Please see picture.

Can anyone explain why?

Thanks,

Dear Trader,

Can you please check your Backtesting settings and verify that you backtest your algo using tick data? If you are using bar data then the algo is backtested using open prices and something like this might occur.

Best Regards,

Hi Guys,
I have checked and it is using Tick data for accuracy for the back test. This error continues.

Thanks,

If it is on the 1 min chart, isn't that a bid/ask issue?

Dear Trader,

Is it possible to have a cBot and the back testing parameters so that our team can reproduce the issue?
