Does anybody else encounter this problem when trading futures?

Same code executes stop and limit orders on any symbols with 2 decimals, but when I try to run the code on symbols with 4 decimals the stops / limits never get hit.

Thanks.

Please provide additional information as per How to report a Problem?

* The code
* Your Sym Info Mgr settings
* OHLC data for the bar where the stops/limits aren't getting hit

Also, knowing which data provider you are using is important.

WealthLab Pro v 5.3.44.0, Windows 7 64bit (Same problem on windows XP 32bit)

I am using ascii files - in this case forex - here is some sample data:

CODE:
Please log in to see this code.



This code creates a position on other symbols that don't have 4 decimal places.

Thanks.

This sounds like a problem of outdated cracked version. Hacked 5.3 version has been widespread, and obviously WealthLab Pro v 5.3.44.0 is not supported when even 5.6 was released last year. Please contact Fidelity to get WLP5 free of charge with an active trader account.

The same behavior with 5.6.20.0359653. Using similar futures data..avoding using symbol info manager confusions by mimicking stock data format. Another strange one when using Ascii files for data input is that Bars.Count = 0 all the time.

vbadri, why don't you create a support ticket so we can identify you and the software you're using?
