CBOT does not open any trades

A few questions:

1) have you looked in the "Log" tab when your bot is running to see what happens? If there's a crash or something?

2) Have you tried putting any "Print" statements in your code to output information to the log? for instance, how do you know all the following statements ever evaluate to "true" for the order to be opened?

if (UpHigh && UpTrend)
                    {
                        if (UpBreak || DownSpring)
                        {

                            if (UpKabuti)
                            {
                                Open_Buy_Order();
                                return;
                            }
                        }
                    }

For all you know, all those "if" statements may not be evaluating to true, and thus the "Open_Buy_Order" method is never executed.

So I would try putting in Print statements to log output, so you can see where the code is executing, and if it's even getting to the method to open an order.

Thank you for your reply,

for number 1, i get backtesting started and backtesting finished.

i will definitely try to print some statements. Its very possible that some statements never evaluate to true. Thank you for this insight!
