When I backtest my bot with Sugar White (SUGAR.CMD/USD), it enters trades.
Label Amount Direction Open price Close price Profit/Loss Profit/Loss in pips Open date Close date Comment

but when I run it in a forward demo, I get these errors

10:47:11 Order SELL 335 SUGAR.CMD/USD @ MKT is sent at 2020-09-23 10:47:18.512 GMT by the strategy "xyz": from the local computer
