Hi,
I am running a strategy live now, i am receiving this error when it tries to close a pending SellLimit order:

02:57:12 Thu Jun 10 13:02:01 EST 2010 - Error: null Instrument: EUR/AUD

Line 281 on YDAEdge is a simple lastOrder.close() statement and it cannot be null because on the previous line it's checking the OrderCommand for this order . The statement has closed other orders successfully but only this one (EUR/AUD, Sell Limit) it is having trouble with.

Update: I have closed the EUR/AUD Sell Limit manually for now, but you can actually have a look at it may be there was someothing wrong with the order itself. The code actually tried to close it many times (on every minute bar) but returned the same error as mentioned above.

Please advise what to do in this case.

It did it again today with EUR/SEK Orders.

If you're trying to place orders on crosses, it'll fail every time.

Please, check if you have this kind of issue on the demo.

Is this issue fixed on live?

Normally happens when you re-run the strategy after stopping or may be closing the client and opening again, it doesn't like it.

In the backtester, you get that error if you try to enter and later close orders on crosses, eg, EUR/JPY, GBP/JPY, etc. You have to handle two separate orders to trade on crosses, one for EUR/USD, and one for USD/JPY.
