Ctrader position not opened (differences between live and back testing even though live has a 'better' spread)
Ctrader position not opened (differences between live and back testing even though live has a 'better' spread)

A position is created successfully in backtesting but not under the live conditions.
suggestions anyone?
anyone know where i can find the detailed ctrader logs?
Notes:
- The Spread is smaller (better) in ‘live'
- The entry price is exactly the same
- Their is enough margin to cover the trade (log say the order was successfully created but a position was never opened)

Upon further analysis -
I removed the faulty indicator and built my own. My stats are now identical between back testing and live
What i have noticed is that back testing will “fill” everything while live does not and it often misses take profit targets 🤷 *mystery solved. (so always take your back testing results with a big grain of salt)

You can find the logs in the “algo” tab:
I'm not sure how you expect anyone to help you otherwise when you haven't posted any screen captures showing your back-testing settings, or describing what your back-testing settings are.
you should also post your code logic so people can see what may be going on.
