Thread: Ray the Random Robot Needs Urgent Assistance

I changed my setup (see below). I ran a quick test on my laptop in the middle of nowhere. I still see the same errors.

I'll go try on a VPS now too, but I can't say I'm terribly hopeful!

Hey Jim,

I actually meant the middle option from your screenshot.

Just checking, but have you tried to update your Order2Go?

Strategy Trader apparently plugs into this API and if the Order2Go is too old, you might see some funny things.

I thought ST installed a new Order2Go anyway? I've had it on my laptop for years, though updated regularly. VPS only got it along with ST though.

Here's my results on a VPS located in the good ol' U.S. of A. Just the same problems.

I'll go look closely at Order2Go now.

Jim

Well I uninstalled ST & Order2Go on the VPS. Reinstalled ST build 295, which also installed Order2Go. Started a new test.

I am still getting the "Didn't receive final status" warnings, but after one round turn the order management isn't getting screwed up as badly as a result.

How do I check the build of an Order2Go installation?

Jim

Morning All,

Krazy's simplified clone of Ray the Random Robot has been running all night on one of our US VPSes, with what I assume are the latest builds of both Strategy Trader and Order2Go. This is what happened.

Does anyone at FXCM or your assorted subcontractors have any handle on what's going wrong here, and how to put it right?

I have the same problem.
The error messages are due to the fact that when you close an OCO order is not cancel the corresponding OCO order, the system goes into limbo for a while then gives the error message because there is a hanging type OCO order (the old one ) without a corresponding OCO order, then continues to receive new orders.

I'm not able to reproduce your error. Please confirm that you are using OrderAction.SellShort or OrderAction.Buy to create limit and stop orders. It can give you unexpected results if you don't get the price right.

Here is an example of SellShort OCO

Code:

protected override void Construct() {
	limit_entry = OrdersFactory.CreateLimit(new OrdersCreateParams(Lots.Default, OrderAction.SellShort));
	stop_entry = OrdersFactory.CreateStop(new OrdersCreateParams(Lots.Default, OrderAction.SellShort));
}
		
protected override void Initialize() {
}
		
protected override void Execute(){
	limit_entry.Generate(1.3990);
	stop_entry.Generate(1.3980);
}

Jim,

You can download Order2Go here: http://forexforums.dailyfx.com/order...e-updates.html

After installing, go to Start->Programs->FXOrder2Go->Update Order2Go.

Hi

If you want to backtest a Strategy Advisor and were using for example "1 minute charts" yet you wanted your advisor to create a position based upon the tick. What code would you use to do that?

Thanks

Pete

Go to the Backtesting tab under the strategy advisor properties, and enable the bar magnifier, and click the tick button. Understand that in doing this, the length you will be able to backtest will be considerably less than if you tested at the Open of each candle.
