buy stops & sell stops being deleted in Tester

New comment
 

Hello,

When I run the attached EA in Strategy Tester I get the following in the Results tab. The entry in bold is the one I don't understand. This EA hedges a trade between a buystop and sellstop while doubling lotsize as price reverses and sets takeprofit and stoploss at equal opposing levels. As you can see, price is ranging for a long time between the hedge, increasing lot size to huge amount until it just creates a buy stop and deletes it soon after. It is the lack of this buy stop that is giving me a total negative value on my hedge but I still dont know why the buystop is being deleted, Please help.

Not enough free margin on the account to convert the pending order to a market order and so the order was deleted.
 

thanks, so that strategy wont work without a huge account balance. Who would have thought the market would range so much.

Is there a limit on the trades tested by the Strategy Tester? My results tab only shows 3 months of data and I get the same profit gain whether I test for 6 months or 1 year.
