for some reason i see that the strategy has a position filled, but no position was filled. i guess it is because the the price reaching the BUY STOP during not regular trading hours, or maybe it has to do with IOG=TRUE. but not sure.

thanks to anyone that can help with this issue.

[IntrabarOrderGeneration = true]

Inputs:
Length(9),
Mult(1.25),
Capital(0),
Risk(100);

Vars:
MP(0),
kcUPband(0), kcDNband(0),
bbUPband(0), bbDNband(0),
dcUPband(0), dcDNband(0),
upBand(0), dnBand(0),
AvgBand(0),
VolGap(0),
VolShares(0),
QtyShares(0),
Split(0),
nShares(0);

MP = MarketPosition;
kcUPband = KeltnerEMA(C,Length,Mult);
kcDNband = KeltnerEMA(C,Length,-Mult);
bbUPband = BollingerBand(C,Length,Mult);
bbDNband = BollingerBand(C,Length,-Mult);
dcUPband = Highest(H,Length);
dcDNband = Lowest(L,Length);

upBand = minlist(kcUPband,bbUPband,dcUPband[1]);
dnBand = maxlist(kcDNband,bbDNband,dcDNband[1]);
AvgBand = (upBand+dnBand)/2;

if MP = 0 then
begin
VolGap = upBand-AvgBand;
if Capital <> 0 then
begin
VolShares = round(Risk/VolGap,0);
QtyShares = round(Capital/C,0);
nShares = minlist(VolShares,QtyShares);
end
else
nShares = round(Risk/VolGap,0);
Split = nShares/3;
buy next bar nShares shares at upBand stop;
end;

if MP = 1 then
begin
sell ("Exit") next bar at AvgBand stop;
sell Split shares total next bar at entryprice+VolGap*1.5 limit;
sell Split shares total next bar at entryprice+VolGap*3 limit;
end;

Can you provide the timeframe of the chart and the instrument? I may be able to assist.

The issue occured during premarket (6/30/2020), after i logged in to tradestation.
i assume it was because of IOG. but not sure. another thing is that "Strategy Time Filled" is always 11:00pm. but i guess it's because I'm on daily timeframe.

anyway, thanks for your help.

The IOG=True setting means you are evaluating the criteria every tick, but your order will be placed at the close of the bar. I'm wondering if you are sending an order to the market when it is closed and TS is rejecting it because it is closed. I don't work with daily charts, so I'm not that much of a help.

You might want to pose your question in the TradeStation community forums.
