Still learning the ropes.
What I'm trying to achieve is to buy an equity whenever current price is 10% higher than the opening price of the day, then sell it at end day. To clarify, at anytime during the normal trading hours, if an equity's price reaches more than 10% of the opening price, there should be a market order placed.
Below shows the starting few lines of the logs. As seen, only one order is made. And instead of selling, it would appear I am buying stocks at end day.

Hey qctrial,
you're investing only in one stock because before buying other stocks you check if the portfolio is invested and if it is, you return. The other problem is that even though you liquidate all your positions new positions keep opening after the liquidation because you didn't set a statement (ex. stop investing after liquidating)
I attached a backtest that solves these issues.
Best,
Nico
