Trailing Stop is not Executed in Backtesting. No Errors.... Please help because I'm stumped. - page 2

i though that if you do () in those brackets it refers to the current order... the order selected earlier in the code. I can't stare at the code for hours. That would be completely inefficient j/k. Ok i read how to do a print statement and i seel what you mean. Sorry for the misunderstanding, I'm a beginner and don't really know the terms. I thought you meant printing the errorlog. I will print all the variables and post again. Thank you for all of your help.

Once an order is placed . . . .

This 

if(SellStopPrice==Ask && OrdersTotal()<1 && SellTicket==0)  

and this . .

if(BuyStopPrice==Bid && OrdersTotal()<1 && BuyTicket==0)

are both false because OrdersTotal() is no longer < 1 so the OrderModifys don't get called.

 

I ran your code on AUDUSD

Here is the updated code for both. I hope that this is what you were looking for. The trailing stop still isn't initiated so i don't have anyway of diagnosising this problem. My suspicion is that it has something to do with the order not being selected and therefore trailing stop is not being initiated... I don't know if this is actually the case.

 

oh thanks. looks like i still have some work to do haha. So, to clarify, i should delete the parameter orderstotal<1?

 

once again thank you for all of your help. you were a lot of help.

 

I was running it on euro because it has the lowest spread.

 

will you send me the updated code?
