Hi guys I'm pretty confused about an issue regarding the autotrader entering positions and wondering how to resolve it. Currently I've backtested a strategy I like so I'm currently letting it run live in sim mode but it's not making any entries. It'll often have a buy entry signal and buy exit signal on the same bar so that could be causing it to not enter, but any time I re-run a backtest through the time period it wasn't entering it will then show up as an order. Is there anything I should check before I modify the strategy?

Thanks, I went through the system behavior however couldn't find anything that sounds like my issue, but I'll look into the second part but currently it's being implemented through a spreadsheet. But circling back to the original question, I have a lagging indicator and a predictive indicator and the lagging indicator will often be signalling a buy exit while the predictive indicator will signal a buy entry (on the same bar, of course). Because the lagging indicator is signalling an exit, will it skip the entry?
