Hello I have a custom study written in ACSIL that trades from the code written in C++ . The Buy and Sell Entries and Exits work fine in Sim and Live. I am finding the two functions sc.FlattenPosition and sc.FlattenAndCancelAllOrders work fine in sim but do not work in live trading. I am using the Teton Routing Service and enabled the option Hold Market Order Until Pending Cancel Orders Confirmed. I am using AMP as the broker and Denali for data. Do you have any suggestions? I have read all I can on the support boards and the supporting documentation. Is there a line of code I need before sc.FlattenPosition and sc.FlattenAndCancelAllOrders similar to the structure parameter required by sc.BuyEntry etc? Thanks |

just to reiterate that this works as it should in a simulated environment but in live it is not functioning as it should.Do you have a checklist of settings I could try please?or does this suggest that simulation environment doesnt work?

No thanks to the support here(zero answer)but I have worked out that the code referenced position data.position quantity which in a sim environment is updated instantaneously to a non zero value after a trade entry,however in live there is a slight time lag for the trade to be enetered and the value to be non zero .In this case some code was executed erroneously which caused the problem and was not an issue with settings.I have written this here who potentially could have the same problem.

We apologize for the delay. This had gotten overlooked. I am finding the two functions sc.FlattenPosition and sc.FlattenAndCancelAllOrders work fine in sim but do not work in live trading.
The first thing we were going to say is what is the value returned from these functions. And also check the Trade >> Trade Service Log for any error messages.I am using the Teton Routing Service and enabled the option Hold Market Order Until Pending Cancel Orders Confirmed. Also it is not necessary with Teton order routing to enable this: Hold Market Order Until Pending Cancel Orders Confirmed.
