Hi there I believe the best approach is for you to email Dukascopy Contest Support and seek their help. I and others submitted strategies in April which did NOT run at all and I see you are not alone in your predicament this month! I can confirm that your strategy runs fine in DEMO mode. Good luck - hang in there  us_copiosus

Historical test and live environment is two different view. In historical test all strategy will work, however to run it on live, first your strategy should subscribe instrument to trade. I would suggest to look for log files, from there you will get clear picture. Or you can run it on demo account locally. Run it from 1 min time frame on demo account to see, whether it opens any-trade or not, if you do not have any log file. You can subscribe for a demo account from mentioned link to test it : https://www.dukascopy.com/swiss/english/ ... x_account/

Hi Guys, Thank you for checking. drishti, I am already subscribing to instrument within an onStart() method. But, there is something strange about it. The strat log is empty but expanding the items I see that no instruments are linked to my strategy (cf below) Attachment:

If you will look below on right side in strategy log page, you will see "VIEW LOG". Get that details, from there you would be able to know, what is stopping strategy to open any trade. Because I have checked your strategy, I did not find anything wrong.

It seems that your strategy is perfectly fine. However, as it is not able to open any trade, so will be able to tell you the reason by tomorrow, when market will open.

I got news! Following market opening this sunday, the strategy sent a couple of orders but all were rejected, I can see some activity in the log. Quote: Your order has been rejected due to validation failure. Invalid price format - please use increments of 0.1 pip. How is it possible to effectively test the strategy prior to submitting it in the live env? the historical tester never complained

It happens! Now you know, while submitting orders, it may check all aspects like slippage, and other parameter to validate orders. So now you can do it better from next time onward. Now I am waiting your strategy to open any order today.
