Fill prices are off.

Hi Brady,

What do you mean by “my fill prices are not even on the chart"?

Are you surprised they are not? Are you looking at the QC chart or the TV chart in that remark?

Your algo subscribe to minute data so OnData will be called every minute. Your rolling window contains consolidated 5mins bars (2). And you max values are for the last 5 days. So you compare the last 5mins to the last 5 days highest high. Those comments are to help you with your question “Since I consolidated the data on the 1min for my rolling window will that effect my high values?”. Your high values are for 5 days so they are not affected by your consolidator.

I don't understand why you divide your percentage parameters by 1000 instead of 100.

That aside, I don't see a problem with that algo. Would you please elaborate a bit more on the issue you want help with? I will be glad to help you then!!

Hey Fred, thanks for the response! Very new to coding so some my methods are probably off (since the weekend)

For the percentages, I couldn’t get decimal values to work so that was the easiest solution for me.

Thats great to hear that the algo is doing what I specified! 

Now the fill price, maybe I should have been more specific but it relates to my fill prices on stop orders. If you look at the backtest it says that my limit order is sent then immediately after my stop loss triggered. When I look at the chart on that day, the stop never should not have been triggered because the price never dropped to that level. I am looking at the TradingView chart as I am having troubles getting the charts to work on Quantconnect. 

My chart issues are I can’t get the actual MSFT chart to show in bars and also it comes back saying I don’t have enough data for the chart range I specified.

Hi Brady,

I did not do a full analysis on this yet but yes I finally did spot what you were referring to. And it got me wondering 😊…

The fact that you only trade during a single minute everyday (9h36) made me wonder if something jazzy was not happening with the logs there as, yes, as you are saying, the fill price of your first stop loss should not be met at 9h36 on Dec 10th.

So I added a line of code to log the time when the stop loss actually gets filled since from the chart, it looked like your market order DOES get held for a while…

I got this: 2021-12-14 09:51:00

So basically, what happens is the following:

• On Dec 10th, 9h36, you buy 100 MSFT at market. You place one stop loss and two limit (take profits).
• On Dec 14th, 9h51, your stop loss is met before your take profits. You liquidate. You cancel your take profits.
• On Dec 27th, you enter another position of 100 MSFT (again with one stop loss and two take profits). You hold until Dec 31st. Your backtest is over.
