See attached image file. I am running in Sim mode. Trade Position Average Price does not seem to work in real time. In backtests it works every time. If I close this chartbook and re-open the TPAP will calculate correctly and stay until parameters call for a change. I have other charbooks which utilize TPAP and they seem to work fine real time and backtest. I cannot see a reason why this does not work when Sierra clearly recognizes that there is an actual trade position. Thanks. http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1612195077185.png |

However, if you have a Trade Position which spans a long time, then it may be necessary to set this to a date earlier than the earliest date loaded in the chart.
I decided to try this, even though my trades do not span much time in this chartbook. A trade was taken this morning and no Trade Position Average Price was registered. When I set the date to Jan 1 the TPAP immediately updated correctly. It just finished the trade and sold for a profit using the TPAP as part of the close trade criteria. It seems that this has solved the problem although I'm not sure why yet at this point. I can see where a longer timeframe trade or multiple trade positions would make this more important, but I was not in any other positions and the trade size was 1. Anyway, from now one, if I use TPAP I will also set this date back at least a month and see if that works better. Thanks. |

Is it normal for this setting to disappear? I can set it and it seems to stick until I run a back-test. When I run the back-test it disappears in every chartbook.
