Economic calendar/News Event Filter
22 Aug 2024, 11:23

Hello everyone, I've been developing a news events filter to prevent my trading bot from operating during significant economic announcements. Is it normal that I receive no errors or log issues, yet the logic fails to function as anticipated, allowing trades during major news events?

 Could this be an issue only detectable in live environments, or should it also be apparent during backtesting? Thank you.

Hi there,

It's hard to answer such vague questions if we cannot see what you are actually doing. Logical errors do not generate any log messages as they are not considered problems by the system. The computer executes what you have instructed it to do, even if this is different from what you expect it to do or what you think it does.

Best regards,

Panagiotis
