Good Morning, I'm trying to make my first Custom Study for automatic trading and I recive this error from Message Log: -8998 ;Surfing in the web I found that in Sierra Chart, when encountered during order placement, typically indicates an issue with the order configuration or a problem with the connection to the trading service. I'm with Stage5 for the connection with Denali Data Feed and I specify the symbol like newOrder.Symbol = "ESH24_FUT_CME"; and nothing changes.Can Someone help me, please? The entire code is: #include "sierrachart.h" SCDLLName("MyTradingSystem") SCSFExport scsf_SimpleEMiniLimitOrderBot(SCStudyInterfaceRef sc) { SCInputRef OrderPlacedFlag = sc.Input[0]; if (sc.SetDefaults) { // Set the configuration sc.GraphName = "Simple E-Mini Limit Order Bot - 4 Ticks Below"; sc.GraphRegion = 0; // Set the study to display in region 1 sc.StudyDescription = "Places a limit order for the E-mini S&P 500, 4 ticks below the current price."; sc.AutoLoop = 0; OrderPlacedFlag.Name = "Order Placed Flag"; OrderPlacedFlag.SetInt(0); return; } if (OrderPlacedFlag.GetInt() == 1) { return; // Exit if order has already been placed } // Get the current market price float currentPrice = sc.Close[sc.ArraySize - 1]; // Define the order s_SCNewOrder newOrder; newOrder.OrderQuantity = 1; newOrder.OrderType = SCT_ORDERTYPE_MARKET; newOrder.TextTag = "Trading example tag"; newOrder.Symbol = "ESH24_FUT_CME"; newOrder.TimeInForce = SCT_TIF_GOOD_TILL_CANCELED; // Send the order int OrderID = 0; SCString logMessage; int result = sc.BuyEntry(newOrder, OrderID); if (result != 1) { // Assuming '1' indicates a successful order placement logMessage.Format("Order placement failed with error code: %d", result); sc.AddMessageToLog(logMessage, 1); // Logging in the Trade Service Log logMessage.Format("Attempting to place order. Price: %f, Quantity: %d, Symbol: %s", currentPrice, newOrder.OrderQuantity, newOrder.Symbol); sc.AddMessageToLog(logMessage, 1); } else { logMessage.Format("Order placed successfully. Order ID: %d", OrderID); sc.AddMessageToLog(logMessage, 0); // Logging in the Message Log } // Set the flag indicating that the order has been placed OrderPlacedFlag.SetInt(1); } |

Order error -8998 means skipped due to full recalculation. Before your order entry logic, insert the following line, this will mean that the order execution is not done until after the full calculation. if (sc.UpdateStartIndex==0) return; Also, the element below is not quite right. // Send the order int OrderID = 0; SCString logMessage; int result = sc.BuyEntry(newOrder, OrderID); The second parameter of sc.BuyEntry is not for the OrderID, you set it to the current bar index, in your case sc.ArraySize-1.
