It is outside the scope of our support to troubleshoot your system for you. Have you run a replay (not a backtest) with your trading system to make sure it is working properly?

Most often, when you are not getting trades from an automated system, you do not have the Input for "Send Orders to Trade Service" set properly. This needs to be set to "No" if you are in Simulation Mode, or set to "Yes" if you are connected to your live trading account. For a replay and/or backtest, this would need to be set to "No".

The other place to check is the "Trade >> Trade Service Log" to see if it gives information on why the orders are not being placed.
