I'm setting price1 in ACSIL for the USOil FXCM symbol(ticksize set to 0.01) but the stop gets truncated to the dollar instead of rounded to the nearest tick. For instance, if I say the stop should be 93.235 or 93.23, it always gets set to 93.00. What could be causing that?

Thanks,
Ted

This does not make much sense. What happens when you manually enter an order from the chart at 93.23.

Please provide the source code you are using to set the stop price.

Manual trades with attached stops worked ok. The problem was my fault. I used a reference to a persistent integer instead of double to hold the stop price.

Now I have to figure out why my new m1.small Amazon instance isn't taking some real-time trades. Maybe m1.small is too slow? My study runs on every tick but only considers trades on bar close. The same study is running on a non-Amazon host and is taking all the trades correctly.

What could cause a trade to show up under Orders and Positions but not in the trade activity log?

There is no case where this will not occur. This just means that you must have some incorrect settings at the top of the Trade Activity Log preventing the order from displaying. Make sure you select All Activity.

It is very bizarre. "All Activity" is selected, but the order isn't there anywhere in the Trade Activity Log tabs. Yet, it shows as filled in Orders and Positions, and the break-even stoploss was even adjusted automatically a few hours later. I can't explain it, but I hope it doesn't keep happening.
