Our own version has not yet opened USOil, but will probably in the next bar. There can be several reasons for a exit, but you can see the reason from the message in the window.
Is there any insight into how a .01 move immediately after entry triggered an Exit; and how it triggered a Stop loss since it was a positive move? What am I not understanding?
I also noticed that acidburn's Z12 demo has a No Data...
An exit immediately after entry is rare, but not abnormal. It can happen occasionally depending on the trade algorithm. You can see this if you run a test of Z12 and check the log.
"Stop loss" is a message by the TMF. A TMF is function in the script that moves an internal stop limit. Depending on its algorithm, it can sometimes move the stop very soon at break even, especially when the price has risen fast at entry time. If the price does not rise further, this can cause an immediate exit at almost the entry price. The "16:13" is probably the time of the exit bar and not the precise minute of the exit.
One can argue if such an exit makes sense or not - probably not - but with any algorithm you can find some example trades where the algorithm did not behave well. The same trade was also placed by our Z12 version and also got a "Stop loss", but a few bars later, and exited with a small profit.
Wanted to be sure there wasn't an unintended bug in the script, since I can't see it.
Understand the limits of any given algorithm's attempt to match perfection; and also that every algorithm is by definition perfect in the sense that it does exactly what the coder told it to do! No matter how strange that makes some things look.
) and the long is there, but no exit - just a risk step-down message...
