Floating fills
Posted: Jan 30 2014
I am running MultiCharts .NET64 SE Version 8.8 Release (Build 8590)
I am attaching a picture of something that is showing up. I would like to understand how to set it up to prevent it.
In the enclosed picture there are 4 chart. The far left chart is a 20 point chart that is not trading. It has a long position limit order based strategy attached to it. It has a profit target as well. The chart to its right is the same, except it is trading live, no signals as yet. The chart to the right of that one, is a Short chart with the same specifications, having completed 2 live trades. Finally the far right chart which like the first, is not trading.
On the far right charts most current bar, there is a short signal and a signal to cover. The theoretical cover price was based on prices that did not exist. Profit target was 1 tick or $12.50, which is what the live trading chart results produced.
I have IOG disabled, am backtesting in the extended mode with no option that I am aware of selected that could or would cause this.
Evaluate historic results is impacted by significantly overstating the outcome.
Thank you for your help,
Don
