Issues With On Demand Trading

[Tradeknowledge]

I do sell and buy limit and stop orders . They are not being filled . I don't know what I am doing wrong

I run into this issue quite often in Paper Trading, which doesn't perform much better than OnDemand... The more complex the code the more likely orders won't fire... My issues have been more with Conditional Orders than simple Limit and Stop orders in Paper Trading... There is very little that can be done to resolve this issue unless we all complain to the Support Desk and even then a resolution may or may not be worked out... I've totally given up on using OnDemand...

When copying formula from live trading platform to simulated platform theres about 500,000 more share difference in simulated platform. Why would that be?

input startTime = 400;
input endTime = 929;
def startCounter = SecondsFromTime(startTime);
def endCounter = SecondsTillTime(endTime);
def targetPeriod = if startCounter >= 0 and endCounter >= 0 then 1 else 0;
rec volumeTotal = if targetPeriod and !targetPeriod[1]
then volume
else if targetPeriod
then volumeTotal[1] + volume else volumeTotal[1];
AddLabel(yes, "Today's Premarket: " + volumeTotal, Color.GRAY);

Given there is no way of knowing what steps that you took; it is not possible to determine which of those steps were wrong.

Call Support:

Make sure that you have available, more information than you posted here.

There is a chance that they won't provide support for paper trading.
You are better off testing your strategies on one share of a penny stock with live trading.

Paper trading was created to provide clients with the general idea of what is available on the ToS platform.
The delays and limitations on on-demand make is a poor vehicle for testing your trading.
