anyone else?
 

Strategy tester does not use the trading server.

Only once to get data but that would mean you just installed a fresh copy is that the case ?

no trades?

is it that my broker has problem?

sorry I did not install fresh copy.  should I?

 
is anyone else having trouble placing trades on strategy tester?
 

Strategy tester runs on a local datafeed from your harddisk.

It has nothing to do with other users or computers/servers unless you mean that you are using the cloud network.

 

no fresh copy

no cloud

no changes made and using strategy tester with the above code was placing trades just before creating this post..

now this same code does not place any trades.  no changes made except for time lost.

 

It's a problem on your end.

Check your parameters.
