Hello, my positions are calculated very carefully, but still get some rejected trades. The message bar shows "Trades not included due to insufficient simulated capital or selected PosSizer: 5".

But can I view the rejected trades so I can dig into the problems? And actually I use some statement like below in my PosSizer:

curPosition = curCash/(currentPos.EntryPrice) - 1
I only have 4 trades each day, and curCash is actually cash/4 for each day. I dont know why it is still rejected. So it will be helpful if I can view these rejected trades.

The best way is to simply perform a Raw Profit backtest. As long as RP sizing is sufficient to enter as least 1 share (or 1 contract), you'll see all the trades.

Also, keep in mind that the Round Lots Preferences may result in a rejected Position.

thanks, Cone.

But in raw profit mode, my PosSizer will not be usable anymore.

And in portfolio mode, even I assigned priority for each trade, I also get different simulation result each time. Is that strange?

No, it's expected if you don't set Position.Priority. If you don't, the priorities are random.

See User Guide: Strategy Window > Backtesting Strategies > How Trades Are Chosen

As I said, I set Position.Priority for each trade. Any idea?

I might have an idea: the priority was set incorrectly. Can you show us a code snippet?

I think I need glasses.

Hi Eugene, I think you are right. Thank you!

Actually there are multiple places in my code to long/short stocks. But I forget to set priority in one of these places. Now it is fine. thanks!

one more question, do you know how to use DebugPrint in my PosSizer? I want to print something in the Message and Error box.
