Post From: Trade Result -8998

Hello, I have a strategy I am back testing that keeps on getting TRade result error -8998. I saw on some other posts that this means it is trying to send an order during "full recalculation" but I am unclear on exactly what that means or how to resolve it. Below is the section of my code that contains order entry logic. This error is occurring when I run a replay backtest on Standard Replay mode. It is the only strategy / indicator on the chart. I've used arrow drawings to indicate where a buy / sell signal "should" take place, and those arrows are all being placed correctly on the chart. It is simply a matter of getting the actual orders to be sent. I'm not entirely sure if this is deemed as programming help since the only issue here is resolving an order error command. Thank you in advance for your assistance. // Trading logic
